Tiananmen Square Protest

Famous quotes containing the words square and/or protest:

    “Rationalists, wearing square hats,
    Think, in square rooms,
    Looking at the floor,
    Looking at the ceiling.
    They confine themselves
    To right-angled triangles.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “To exist is equivalent to an act of faith, a protest against the truth, an interminable prayer.... As soon as they consent to live, the unbeliever and the man of faith are fundamentally the same, since both have made the only decision that defines a being.”
    —E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
