Famous quotes containing the words small, plastic and/or nose:
“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
“The plastic virtues: purity, unity, and truth, keep nature in subjection.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
“Had Cleopatra’s nose been shorter, the whole face of the world would have changed.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
