Famous quotes containing the word adams:

    The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    American society is a sort of flat, fresh-water pond which absorbs silently, without reaction, anything which is thrown into it.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    Positively I sit here, and look at Europe sink, first one deck disappearing, then another, and the whole ship slowly plunging bow-down into the abyss; until the nightmare gets to be howling. The Roman Empire was a trifle to it.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
