I do everything by hand... Even if I'm doing really big letters and I spend a lot of time going over the line and over the line and trying to make it straight, I'll never be able to make it straight. From a distance it might look straight, but when you get close up, you can always see the line waver. And I think that's where the beauty is.

Margaret Kilgallen

The straight line is godless and immoral. The straight line is not a creative line, it is a duplicating line, an imitating line.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser

If you look at a shape like a straight line, what's remarkable is that if you look at a straight line from close by, from far away, it is the same; it is a straight line.

Benoit Mandelbrot

And that's actually the brunt of what we do is, people going straight from their workplace, straight from home, straight into the classroom and working directly with the students. So then we're able to work with thousands and thousands more students.

Dave Eggers

The straight line has a property of self-similarity. Each piece of the straight line is the same as the whole line when used to a big or small extent.

Benoit Mandelbrot

That line, about half of somebody's supporters being deplorables, was maybe the worst line I've ever heard in politics. You never - even when you're running against a bunch of racists, you never take off against the voters. It was a politics 101 foible.

Eleanor Holmes Norton

I do not believe in eternal progress, that we are growing on ever and ever in a straight line. It is too nonsensical to believe. There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle. The force sent out will complete the circle and return to its starting place.

Swami Vivekananda

There are many crooked lines and one straight line. Which is the line of truth? Why the straight line? Truth is always the shortest distance between two points.

Sun Myung Moon

When you work in Kenyan politics, or politics in a lot of African countries, if a deal goes wrong you can pay for it. When you work for senior politicians in a lot of these countries you don't actually make money in the electoral work, you make money in the influence brokering after that.

Christopher Wylie

In politics, you've got to have a fallback in our line of work because your career can be over in an instant. Not that I would make much money playing a harmonica.

Tim Kaine

In philosophy, as in politics, the longest distance between two points is a straight line.

Will Durant

Combine speed is overrated. It might give you a good look to see what you can run in a straight line, but football's not played in a straight line.

Tavon Austin

The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.

Confucius

There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle.

Swami Vivekananda

The way to solve all the money in politics is not to pretend we can get money out of politics. That will never happen. We have to channel it in ways where we can see it and hold it accountable. And I think the parties are the best vehicle for that.

Mark Shields

When you are in the line of your duty, it is like standing in front of a line of posts, and every post is in line. But step one step aside, and every post looks as though it were not quite in line. The farther you get away from that straight line, the more crooked the posts will appear. It is the straight and narrow path of duty that will lead you and me back to the presence of God.

Heber J. Grant
