Generalized Force

Famous quotes containing the words generalized and/or force:

    One is conscious of no brave and noble earnestness in it, of no generalized passion for intellectual and spiritual adventure, of no organized determination to think things out. What is there is a highly self-conscious and insipid correctness, a bloodless respectability submergence of matter in manner—in brief, what is there is the feeble, uninspiring quality of German painting and English music.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    March indefatigably on,
    And for the last effect
    Still keep thy Sword erect:
    Besides the force it has to fright
    The Spirits of the shady Night;
    The same Arts that did gain
    A Pow’r must it maintain.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
