Famous quotes containing the words spreading and/or centre:
““Vengeance upon the murderers,” the cry goes up,
“Vengeance for Jacques Molay.” In cloud-pale rags, or in lace,
The rage-driven, rage-tormented, and rage-hungry troop,
Trooper belabouring trooper, biting at arm or at face,
Plunges towards nothing, arms and fingers spreading wide
For the embrace of nothing....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“A toddling little girl is a centre of common feeling which makes the most dissimilar people understand each other.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
