Condensed Matter

Famous quotes containing the words condensed and/or matter:

    If you read only the best, you will have no need of reading the other books, because the latter are nothing but a rehash of the best and the oldest. To read Shakespeare, Plato, Dante, Milton, Spenser, Chaucer, and their compeers in prose, is to read in condensed form what all others have diluted.
    Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

    Were that enough, bone, blood, and sinew,
    The twisted brain, the fair-formed loin,
    Groping for matter under the dog’s plate,
    Man should be cured of distemper.
    For all there is to give I offer:
    Crumbs, barn, and halter.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
