Natural Resting Potential

Famous quotes containing the words natural, resting and/or potential:

    It is very natural that every one who makes anything inside themselves that is makes it entirely out of what is in them does naturally have to have two civilizations. They have to have the civilization that makes them and the civilization that has nothing to do with them.

    Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    Most days I feel like an acrobat high above a crowd out of which my own parents, my in-laws, potential employers, phantoms of “other women who do it” and a thousand faceless eyes stare up.
    —Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 2 (1978)
