Heavy Metals

Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or metals:

    The heavy trees,
    The grunting, shuffling branches, the robust,
    The nocturnal, the antique, the blue-green pines
    Deepen the feelings to inhuman depths.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    When human beings have been fascinated by the contemplation of their own hearts, the more intricate biological pattern of the female has become a model for the artist, the mystic, and the saint. When mankind turns instead to what can be done, altered, built, invented, in the outer world, all natural properties of men, animals, or metals become handicaps to be altered rather than clues to be followed.
    Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
