Quotes About Surface

Louis era sempre stato incuriosito dall'elemento liquido. Lo versi in una tazza, ed è piatto. Inclini la tazza, e il liquido si inclina ma la superficie resta piatta, sempre piatta. Anche capovolta e rigirata in tutti i sensi, l'acqua resta piatta. Il sindaco era così.

The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills. 'Behold, just now the world became perfect!'—thus thinks every woman when she obeys out of entire love. And women must obey and find a depth for her surface. Surface is the disposition of woman: a mobile, stormy film over shallow water. Man's disposition, however, is deep; his river roars in subterranean caves: woman feels his strength but does not comprehend it.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche

The dark areas, the 'mare' plains of the moon, are so incredibly smooth that the English astronomer Thomas Gold has suggested that they might really be depressions filled to the brim with dust. A rocket hit would show whether they are that or not.
~ Willy Ley
El universo es superficie. y si es superficie pulámosla para que no oponga ninguna aspereza al tacto, ningún sobresalto a la mirada. Para que brille, para que resplandezca, para que nos haga olvidar ese deseo, esa necesidad, esa manía de buscar lo que está más allá, del otro lado del velo, detrás del telón.
~ Rosario Castellanos

~ Anne Rice
What a hideout: Holiness lies spread and borne over the surface of time and stuff like color.
~ Annie Dillard
The mind is like the ocean ... no matter what the surface conditions are like, whether it's smooth or choppy ... deep in the ocean it's tranquil and serene. From the depth of the ocean, you can look toward the surface and simply notice the activities there, just as from the depth of the mind you can look upward toward ... all that activity of mind—the thoughts, feelings, sensations, and memories.
~ Sharon Salzberg
Maybe staying on the surface keeps her from returning to a place where she can't breathe.
~ Mary E. Pearson
