Perfectly Inelastic Collision

Famous quotes containing the words perfectly and/or collision:

    “My only objection to the arrangements there is the two-in-a-bed system. It is bad.... But let your words and conduct be perfectly pure—such as your mother might know without bringing a blush to your cheek.... If not already mentioned, do not tell your mother of the doubling in bed.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “When the wind carries a cry which is meaningful to human ears, it is simpler to believe the wind shares with us some part of the emotion of Being than that the mysteries of a hurricane’s rising murmur reduce to no more than the random collision of insensate molecules.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
