Famous quotes containing the words inborn, errors, metal and/or metabolism:

    “A bird half wakened in the lunar noon
    Sang halfway through its little inborn tune.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Truth has not single victories; all things are its organs,—not only dust and stones, but errors and lies.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “We are supposed to be the children of Seth; but Seth is too much of an effete nonentity to deserve ancestral regard. No, we are the sons of Cain, and with violence can be associated the attacks on sound, stone, wood and metal that produced civilisation.”
    —Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)

    “He’s got a fifteen percent metabolism with an overactive thyroid and a glandular affectation of about three percent. With a one percent mentality. He’s what we designate as the Crummy Moronic type.”
