Every man is the center of a circle, whose fatal circumference he can not pass.

John James Ingalls

The thought must have its own center of gravity; it cannot just be either here or there. We must find this center of gravity. It is the same for the body; if it is not centered, no movement will be possible. It is the same for the feeling. These Movements are designed to enable us to pass from one center of gravity to another; it is the shift that creates the state. The gesture, the movement, is what is important, not the attitudes.

Jeanne de Salzmann

Sports has always been a pass-through. You pay for something, and then you pass it through to television, you pass it through to advertisers, or you pass it through to season-ticket holders, luxury boxes and then the fans. Then it all adds up, and you take in more than you pass out.

John Madden

Doubt is the vestibule through which all must pass before they can enter into the temple of wisdom.

Charles Caleb Colton

There is in the universe neither center nor circumference.

Giordano Bruno

I had the opportunity, as a child, to grow up in a community center where I was exposed to theater, music, art, and computer science; things that I would have never had the opportunity to even meet had it not been for those people taking time out of their schedules, helping us as children to travel all over the world while sitting in a gymnasium. That's what I did before I was a musician, before I was a recording artist, I was a teacher and a community leader.

Each dot: the center of a circle without circumference...

Frederick Franck

God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere.

Voltaire

Man is the center of a circle without a circumference, except the one he creates for himself.

Mahatma Gandhi

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.

Blaise Pascal

The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere.

Empedocles

. . . the circumference of life cannot be rightly drawn until the center is set.

Benjamin E. Mays

The present moment is the only aperture through which the soul can pass out of time into eternity, through which grace can pass out of eternity into the soul, and through which love can pass from one soul in time to another soul in time.

Aldous Huxley

The first stars tremble as if shimmering in green water. Hours must pass before their glimmer hardens into the frozen glitter of diamonds. I shall have a long wait before I witness the soundless frolic of the shooting stars. In the profound darkness of certain nights I have seen the sky streaked with so many trailing sparks that it seemed to me a great gale must be blowing through the outer heavens.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

About the fearful sphere which we inhabit, whose centre may be calculated and whose circumference is physically established, there spin metaphors whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference shows itself only through holes in the dark.

Michael Ayrton

The world has no circumference. It would certainly have a circumference if it had a centre, in which case it would contain within itself its own beginning and end; and that would mean that there was some other thing which imposed a limit to the world - another being existing in space outside the world. All of these conclusions are false. Since, then, the world cannot be enclosed within a material circumference and centre, it is unintelligible without God as its centre and circumference.

Nicholas of Cusa
