Structural Blind Rivet

Famous quotes containing the words structural, blind and/or rivet:

“The reader uses his eyes as well as or instead of his ears and is in every way encouraged to take a more abstract view of the language he sees. The written or printed sentence lends itself to structural analysis as the spoken does not because the reader’s eye can play back and forth over the words, giving him time to divide the sentence into visually appreciated parts and to reflect on the grammatical function.”
—J. David Bolter (b. 1951)

“No such thing as a man willing to be honest—that would be like a blind man willing to see.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

“Every nail driven should be as another rivet in the machine of the universe, you carrying on the work.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
