Term Electromotive Force

Famous quotes containing the words term and/or force:

“We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused—in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible. On the other hand, the lightness of the artillery should not degenerate into pop-gunnery—by which term we may designate the character of the greater portion of the newspaper press—their sole legitimate object being the discussion of ephemeral matters in an ephemeral manner.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

“Strange how such innocence gets its own way.
I shouldn’t be surprised if in this world
It were the force that would at last prevail.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
