Cooling Earth Theory

Famous quotes containing the words cooling, earth and/or theory:

    As a bathtub lined with white porcelain,

    What potent blood hath modest May;
    What fiery force the earth renews,
    The wealth of forms, the flush of hues;
    Joy shed in rosy waves abroad
    Flows from the heart of Love, the Lord.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The great tragedy of science—the slaying of a beautiful theory by an ugly fact.
