Famous quotes containing the word centre:

    “Freedom to think our own thoughts, freedom to utter them, freedom to live out the promptings of our inner life ultimated in this convention, was termed a monstrosity of the 19th century. What was it?—the legitimate out-birth of the eternal law of progress. This reformation underlies every other; it is the only healthful centre around which hope of humanity can revolve.”
    —Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)

    “Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The bogholes might be Atlantic seepage.
    The wet centre is bottomless.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
