Heat Loss

Famous quotes containing the words heat and/or loss:

    For it is wretchedness that endures, shedding its cancerous light on all it approaches:
    Words spoken in the heat of passion, that might have been retracted in good time,
    All good intentions, all that was arguable.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    A little cooling down of animal excitability and instinct, a little loss of animal toughness, a little irritable weakness and descent of the pain-threshold, will bring the worm at the core of all our usual springs of delight into full view, and turn us into melancholy metaphysicians.
    William James (1842–1910)
