Dry Friction

Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or friction:

    There is not even silence in the mountains
    But dry sterile thunder without rain
    There is not even solitude in the mountains
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    We have got onto slippery ice where there is no friction and so in a certain sense the conditions are ideal, but also, just because of that, we are unable to walk. We want to walk so we need friction. Back to the rough ground!
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
