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)
