External Power Supply

Famous quotes containing the words external, power and/or supply:

    “The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better.... Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    “A new degree of intellectual power seems cheap at any price.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Has God’s supply of tolerable husbands
    Fallen, in fact, so low?
    Or do I always over-value woman
    At the expense of man?
    Do I?
    It might be so.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
