Wider

Famous quotes containing the word wider:

“Words can have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbit and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used.”
—David Lehman (b. 1948)

“If the hero is not a person, the emblem
Of him, even if Xenophon, seems
To stand taller than a person stands, has
A wider brow, large and less human
Eyes and bruted ears: the man-like body
Of a primitive.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
For—put them side by side—
The one the other will contain
With ease—and You—beside—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
