Whirling Arm

Famous quotes containing the words whirling and/or arm:

“True solitude is a din of birdsong, seething leaves, whirling colors, or a clamor of tracks in the snow.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

“Man is but a reed, the feeblest one in nature; but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him—a vapor, a drop of water suffices to kill him. But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
