Parasitic Energy Requirements

Famous quotes containing the words parasitic and/or energy:

    No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    But often the presence of mind and energy of a person remote from the spotlight decide the course of history for centuries to come.
