“If you consider that a single straight line can be drawn between any two points, one day I'm going to draw a line from him to me or me to him.”

“The shortest distance between two points is the line from me to you.”

“A straight line is not the shortest distance between two points.”

“This is tantamount to saying, "My hand is weak. I cannot draw a straight line,—that is, a line which will be the shortest line between two given points,—and so, in order to make it more easy for myself, I, intending to draw a straight, will choose for my model a crooked line." The weaker my hand, the greater the need that my model should be perfect.”

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

“The shortest distance between two points is a time line, a schedule, a map of your time, the itinerary for the rest of your life.Nothing shows you the straight line from here to death like a list.”
