Relative Consistency

Famous quotes containing the words relative and/or consistency:

“Are not all finite beings better pleased with motions relative than absolute?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“People who love only once in their lives are ... shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.

—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
