Quotations for circles

Conversation is a game of circles. [ Emerson ]

Thine eyes are like the deep, blue, boundless heaven
Contracted in two circles underneath
Their long, fine lashes; dark, far, measureless,
Orb within orb, and line through line inwoven. [ Shelley ]

He pulls down, he builds up, he changes squares into circles. [ Horace ]

The years write their records on men's hearts as they do on trees: inner circles of growth which no eye can see. [ Saxe Holm ]

Circles and right lines limit and close all bodies, and the mortal rightlined circle must conclude and shut up all. [ Sir Thomas Browne ]

Little-minded people's thoughts move in such small circles that five minutes' conversation gives you an arc long enough to determine their whole curve. [ Oliver Wendell Holmes ]

Year by year, more and more of the world gets disenchanted. Even the icy privacy of the arctic and antarctic circles is invaded. We have played Jack Horner with our earth, till there is never a plum left in it. [ Lowell ]
