Starting Point

Famous quotes containing the words starting point, starting and/or point:

    The starting point of the human and the end,
    That in which space itself is contained, the gate

    By day, night and that which night illumines,
    Night and its midnight-minting fragrances,
    Night’s hymn of the rock, as in a vivid sleep.

    He’ll find that Asiatic state
    Is about tired of being looted
    While having its beliefs disputed.

    Where is the point at which the merely individual
    Explosion breaks...?
