Uncontrolled Power Excursion

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or excursion:

    The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
