Reaction Time

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or time:

“Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident. It was a Puritan reaction in an age when, no doubt, a Puritan reaction was much wanted; but like all sudden violent reactions, it soon wanted reacting against.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“At this time in American history, we are like ghosts talking gibberish through different dimensions, and stupid men do not make good make good mediums.”
