Famous quotes containing the words david and/or maxwell:

    “We then entered another swamp, at a necessarily slow pace, where the walking was worse than ever, not only on account of the water, but the fallen timber, which often obliterated the indistinct trail entirely. The fallen trees were so numerous, that for long distances the route was through a succession of small yards, where we climbed over fences as high as our heads, down into water often up to our knees, and then over another fence into a second yard, and so on.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Gin a body meet a body
    Flyin’ through the air,
    Gin a body hit a body,
    Will it fly? and where?”
    —James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879)
