Power Supply Cord

Famous quotes containing the words power, supply and/or cord:

    The distinction, which we often make betwixt power and the exercise of it, is equally without foundation.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    I think it’s a question which particularly arises over women writers: whether it’s better to have a happy life or a good supply of tragic plots.
    Wendy Cope (b. 1945)

    The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
