Famous quotes containing the words variable and/or geometry:

    There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.
    —J.G. (James Graham)
