Pressure Swing

Famous quotes containing the words pressure and/or swing:

“Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say “no.” I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

“Every profound new movement makes a great swing also backwards to some older, half-forgotten way of consciousness.”
