Famous quotes containing the words potential and/or energy:

    “Silence is as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unhewn marble of great sculpture. The silent bear no witness against themselves.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “A great number of the disappointments and mishaps of the troubled world are the direct result of literature and the allied arts. It is our belief that no human being who devotes his life and energy to the manufacture of fantasies can be anything but fundamentally inadequate”
    —Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)
