Spreading Centres

Famous quotes containing the words spreading and/or centres:

“Our business being to colonize the country, there was only one way to do it—by spreading over it all the associations and connections of family life.”

“We all have—to put it as nicely as I can—our lower centres and our higher centres. Our lower centres act: they act with terrible power that sometimes destroys us; but they don’t talk.... Since the war the lower centres have become vocal. And the effect is that of an earthquake. For they speak truths that have never been spoken before—truths that the makers of our domestic institutions have tried to ignore.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
