Fluid Mixtures Part

Famous quotes containing the words fluid, mixtures and/or part:

    There are no fixtures in nature. The universe is fluid and volatile. Permanence is but a word of degrees. Our globe seen by God is a transparent law, not a mass of facts. The law dissolves the fact and holds it fluid.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And yet these Rarities might be allow’d,
    To Man, that sov’raign thing and proud;
    Had he not dealt between the Bark and Tree,
    Forbidden mixtures there to see.
    No Plant now knew the Stock from which it came;
    He grafts upon the Wild the Tame:
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    One way to think about play, is as the process of finding new combinations for known things—combinations that may yield new forms of expression, new inventions, new discoveries, and new solutions....It’s exactly what children’s play seems to be about and explains why so many people have come to think that children’s play is so important a part of childhood—and beyond.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)
