Power Split

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or split:

“First, there is the power of the Wind, constantly exerted over the globe.... Here is an almost incalculable power at our disposal, yet how trifling the use we make of it! It only serves to turn a few mills, blow a few vessels across the ocean, and a few trivial ends besides. What a poor compliment do we pay to our indefatigable and energetic servant!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?
The world would split open”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
