Reaction Time

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or time:

    Sole and self-commanded works,
    Fears not undermining days,
    Grows by decays,
    And, by the famous might that lurks
    In reaction and recoil,
    Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Time past and time future
    What might have been and what has been
    Point to one end, which is always present.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
