Suction Side Surface

Famous quotes containing the words suction, side and/or surface:

    The businessman who assumes that his life is everything, and the mystic who asserts that it is nothing, fail, on this side and on that, to hit the truth.... No; truth, being alive ... was only to be found by continuous excursions into either realm, and though proportion is the final secret, to espouse it at the outset is to ensure sterility.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    These wonderful things
    Were planted on the surface of a round mind that was to become our present time.
