Actual Temperature

Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or temperature:

“A true account of the actual is the rarest poetry, for common sense always takes a hasty and superficial view.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
