Famous quotes containing the words vertical, color and/or resolution:
“In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
—Donald M. Lowe, U.S. historian, educator. History of Bourgeois Perception, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1982)

The head in the dark below
Was a shade less the color of night,
A shade more the color of snow.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Breaking his oath and resolution like
A twist of rotten silk.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
