Reaction

Famous quotes containing the word reaction:

“The excessive increase of anything often causes a reaction in the opposite direction.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
