Energy Gap

Famous quotes containing the words energy and/or gap:

“While the State becomes inflated and hypertrophied in order to obtain a firm enough grip upon individuals, but without succeeding, the latter, without mutual relationships, tumble over one another like so many liquid molecules, encountering no central energy to retain, fix and organize them.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

“the gap of today filling itself
as emptiness is distributed
in the idea of what time it is
when that time is already past”
