Iron Group Elements

Famous quotes containing the words iron, group and/or elements:

    A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

    Once it was a boat, quite wooden
    and with no business, no salt water under it
    and in need of some paint. It was no more
    than a group of boards. But you hoisted her, rigged her.
    She’s been elected.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    But all subsists by elemental strife;
    And Passions are the elements of Life.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
