Famous quotes containing the words surface, action and/or group:
“All beauties contain, like all possible phenomena, something eternal and something transitory,—something absolute and something particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction skimmed from the common surface of different sorts of beauty. The particular element of each beauty comes from the emotions, and as we each have our own particular emotions, so we have our beauty.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Economic depression can not be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“around our group I could hear the wilderness listen.”
—William Stafford (1914–1941)
