Famous quotes containing the word physics:

    “But this invites the occult mind,
    Cancels our physics with a sneer,
    And spatters all we knew of denouement
    Across the expedient and wicked stones.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “We must be physicists in order ... to be creative since so far codes of values and ideals have been constructed in ignorance of physics or even in contradiction to physics.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
