Material Transfer

Famous quotes containing the words material and/or transfer:

“Every word which is used to express a moral or intellectual fact, if traced to its root, is found to be borrowed from some material appearance.”

“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
