Famous quotes containing the words energy and/or efficiency:

    “In the west, Apollo and Dionysus strive for victory. Apollo makes the boundary lines that are civilization but that lead to convention, constraint, oppression. Dionysus is energy unbound, mad, callous, destructive, wasteful. Apollo is law, history, tradition, the dignity and safety of custom and form. Dionysus is the new, exhilarating but rude, sweeping all away to begin again. Apollo is a tyrant, Dionysus is a vandal.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “I’ll take fifty percent efficiency to get one hundred percent loyalty.”
    —Samuel Goldwyn (1882–1974)
