21 " Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy. "
― William Blake , The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: In Full Color
22 " To call the place an anthill would be like calling the Versailles Palace a single-family home. Earthen ramparts rose almost to the tops of the surrounding trees--a hundred feet at least. The circumference could have accommodated a Roman hippodrome. A steady stream of soldiers and drones swarmed in and out of the mound. Some carried fallen trees. One, inexplicably, was dragging a 1967 Chevy Impala. "
― Rick Riordan , The Hidden Oracle (The Trials of Apollo, #1)
23 " What is Above is Within ... the Circumference is Winthin, Without is formed the Selfish Center, and the Circumference still expands going forward to Eternity. "
24 " When we are babies...we need an authoritative figure to guide and take care of us. We ask no questions about that authority and imagine that the small circumference of family life is the limit of the universe...As we mature, our horizon expands and we begin to question. This continues until we either throw over our creators--our parents--for good and take their place as the creative force in our lives or find replacements for them because the terror and responsibility are too great. People go one way or the other, and this accounts for all of the great personal and political divides throughout history. "
― Charlotte Rogan , The Lifeboat
25 " A circle is the only geometric shape defined by its centre. No chicken and egg about it, the centre came first, the circumference follows. The earth, by definition, has a centre. And only the fool that knows it can go wherever he pleases, knowing the centre will hold him down, stop him flying out of orbit. But when your sense of centre shifts, comes whizzing to the surface, the balance has gone. The balance has gone. The balance my baby has gone. "
― Sarah Kane , Crave
26 " God is a circle whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere. "
27 " The most beautiful of all emblems is that of God whom Timaeus of Locris describes under the image of " A circle whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere." "
28 " By degrees, the bitterness at my heart diffused itself to the circumference of the circle in which my life went its cheerless mechanical round. "
― Edward Bulwer-Lytton , A Strange Story
29 " Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere. "
