Spiral Staircases Quotes

• La vida es un viaje por una escalera de caracol; a medida que envejecemos cubrimos el terreno recorrido anteriormente, sólo que más arriba; cuando miramos hacia abajo por la escalera de caracol que tenemos debajo, medimos nuestro progreso por el número de lugares en los que estuvimos pero ya no estamos. El viaje es a la vez repetitivo y progresivo; damos vueltas y subimos.

  William Butler Yeats

• Arsenal have class. I remember when I was at Spurs, the Arsenal players would arrive for matches in their navy blazers with the gold gun emblem sewn into their pockets and grey slacks. We couldn’t match their ground with that beautiful main entrance, marble halls and spiral staircase. Even in 1961 when we won the Double, we were never as big a club as Arsenal.

• Many of the younger generation know my name in a vague way and connect it with grotesque inventions, but don't believe that I ever existed as a person. They think I'm a nonperson, just a name that signifies a tangled web of pipes or wires or strings that suggest machinery. My name to them is like a spiral staircase, veal cutlets, barber's itch — terms that give you an immediate picture of what they mean.

• William Carlos Williams, late in his long life, had a dream: He saw an enormous spiral staircase in empty space, and his father slowly descending toward him. When he reached the bottom, his father walked over, looked him in the eye and said: “You know those poems you're writing? They're no good.”

• I remember in 37 when trolley cars were so big in New York. It was five cents for a ride... There used to be open-air buses, and you could go up a spiral staircase and sit up on top. Those were great, great days.
