Famous quotes containing the words friction and/or torque:
“We have got onto slippery ice where there is no friction and so in a certain sense the conditions are ideal, but also, just because of that, we are unable to walk. We want to walk so we need friction. Back to the rough ground!”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Poetry uses the hub of a torque converter for a jello mold.”
—Diane Glancy (b. 1941)
