Famous quotes containing the words chemical and/or society:
“If Thought is capable of being classed with Electricity, or Will with chemical affinity, as a mode of motion, it seems necessary to fall at once under the second law of thermodynamics as one of the energies which most easily degrades itself, and, if not carefully guarded, returns bodily to the cheaper form called Heat. Of all possible theories, this is likely to prove the most fatal to Professors of History.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor any one in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
