Excess Heat

Famous quotes containing the words excess and/or heat:

    There may be an excess of cultivation as well as of anything else, until civilization becomes pathetic. A highly cultivated man,—all whose bones can be bent! whose heaven-born virtues are but good manners!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Beware thoughts that come in the night. They aren’t turned properly; they come in askew, free of sense and restriction, deriving from the most remote of sources.
    —William Least Heat Moon [William Trogdon] (b. 1939)
