Forces

Famous quotes containing the word forces:

    “The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.”
    —Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

    “The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “Example moves the world more than doctrine. The great exemplars are the poets of action, and it makes little difference whether they be forces for good or forces for evil.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)
