Famous quotes containing the words intense and/or magnetic:
“If we confine ourselves to a general and distant reflection on the ills of human life, that can have no effect to prepare us for them.

—David Hume (1711–1776)
“We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.”
