Scattering Power

Famous quotes containing the words scattering and/or power:

    A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.
    C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)

    Though I than He—may longer live
    He longer must—than I—
    For I have but the power to kill,
    Without—the power to die—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
