Famous quotes containing the words science and/or daily:

—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“There was a heavy power in her eyes which laid hold of his whole being, as if he had drunk some powerful drug. He had been feeling weak and done before. Now the life came back into him, he felt delivered from his own fretted, daily self.”
