External Electric Field

Famous quotes containing the words external, electric and/or field:

    No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Wisdom is like electricity. There is no permanently wise man, but men capable of wisdom, who, being put into certain company, or other favorable conditions, become wise for a short time, as glasses rubbed acquire electric power for a while.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Father calls me William, sister calls me Will,
    Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill!
    —Eugene Field (1850–1895)
