Tiananmen Square Protest

Famous quotes containing the words square and/or protest:

    “Rationalists, wearing square hats,
    Think, in square rooms,

    Looking at the ceiling.
    They confine themselves
    To right-angled triangles.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “At great periods you have always felt, deep within you, the temptation to commit suicide. You gave yourself to it; breached your own defenses. You were a child. The idea of suicide was a protest against life; by dying, you would escape this longing for death.”
