Solid Foams

Famous quotes containing the words solid and/or foams:

    The only solid and lasting peace between a man and his wife is, doubtless, a separation.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    This fantastic state of mind, of a humanity that has outrun its ideas, is matched by a political scene in the grotesque style, with Salvation Army methods, hallelujahs and bell-ringing and dervishlike repetition of monotonous catchwords, until everybody foams at the mouth. Fanaticism turns into a means of salvation, enthusiasm into epileptic ecstacy, politics becomes an opiate for the masses, a proletarian eschatology; and reason veils her face.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
