Touch Surface

Famous quotes containing the words touch and/or surface:

“You did not sense the wings beyond the gate;
you could not see,
you could not touch and feel,
actually the sea-sand
and the sea-shell.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“We say justly that the weak person is flat, for, like all flat substances, he does not stand in the direction of his strength, that is, on his edge, but affords a convenient surface to put upon. He slides all the way through life.... But the brave man is a perfect sphere, which cannot fall on its flat side and is equally strong every way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
