Soft Segments

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or segments:

    Bow, stubborn knees, and heart, with strings of steel,
    Be soft as sinews of the new-born babe!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
