Henry David Thoreau

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Frank Robinson
“The Antarctic Mosaic shows a lot of very subtle changes in the slope of the terrain that you cannot see from the ground. These subtle variations are important because they tell us the direction the ice is flowing now and they indicate where it has gone in the past. The surface roughness also tells us about the bed underneath the ice and whether the ice is sliding over the bed or frozen to it.”
Robert Bindschadler
“We started the game with two backs in the backfield, ... It was all very subtle changes on the offensive line.”
Terry Hoeppner
“If the red slayer thinks he slays, / Or if the slain think he is slain, / They know not well the subtle ways / I keep, and pass, and turn again.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“It's weird. There are these little subtle changes that kind of go into looking significantly younger than you really are,”
John Hensley
