Let us honour if we can
The vertical man
Though we value none
But the horizontal one.Wystan Hugh Auden
My method is vertical rather than horizontal so the scenery does not change but the texture does.
Marshall McLuhan
Masculine and feminime, vertical and horizontal. (written note beneath a drawing in his sketchbook, 1910/11)
Piet Mondrian
I don't believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is so vertical. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidairty is horizontal. It respects the other person. I have a lot to learn from other people.
Eduardo Galeano
Vertical and horizontal lines are the expression of two opposing forces; they exist everywhere and dominate everything; their reciprocal action constitutes ‘life’. I recognized that the equilibrium of any particular aspect of nature rests on the equivalence of its opposites.
