Condensed Matter

Famous quotes containing the words condensed and/or matter:

“If you read only the best, you will have no need of reading the other books, because the latter are nothing but a rehash of the best and the oldest. To read Shakespeare, Plato, Dante, Milton, Spenser, Chaucer, and their compeers in prose, is to read in condensed form what all others have diluted.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

“No face which we can give to a matter will stead us so well at last as the truth. This alone wears well.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
