Rotation Rate

Famous quotes containing the words rotation and/or rate:

    “The lazy manage to keep up with the earth’s rotation just as well as the industrious.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
