External Mass Balances

Famous quotes containing the words external, mass and/or balances:

    “Truth in philosophy means that concept and external reality correspond.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “They’re semiotic phantoms, bits of deep cultural imagery that have split off and taken on a life of their own, like those Jules Verne airships that those old Kansas farmers were always seeing.... Semiotic ghosts. Fragments of the Mass Dream, whirling past in the wind of my passage.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    “Well, you look so pretty in it
    Honey, can I jump on it sometime?
    Yes, I just wanna see
    If it’s really that expensive kind
    You know it balances on your head
    Just like a mattress balances
    On a bottle of wine
    Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat.”
    —Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
