Inclined Planes

Famous quotes containing the words inclined and/or planes:

    He did not live, he observed life from a window, and too often was inclined to content himself with no more than what his friends told him they saw when they looked out of a window.... In the end the point of Henry James is neither his artistry nor his seriousness, but his personality, and this was curious and charming and a trifle absurd.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)

    After the planes unloaded, we fell down
    Buried together, unmarried men and women;
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
