Squeezed States

Famous quotes containing the words squeezed and/or states:

““Tonight,
I must go to that lucky man
and in the blinding dark.”
Thinking that,
a respectable woman,
eyes squeezed shut,
practices walking in her house.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“Action from principle, the perception and the performance of right, changes things and relations; it is essentially revolutionary, and does not consist wholly with anything which was. It not only divides States and churches, it divides families; ay, it divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
