Famous quotes containing the words laws of, laws and/or motion:

    “It is a power stronger than will.... Could a stone escape from the laws of gravity? Impossible. Impossible, for evil to form an alliance with good.”
    —Isidore Ducasse, Comte de Lautréamont (1846–1870)

    “Natural knowledge, seeking to satisfy natural wants, has found the ideas which can alone still spiritual cravings. I say that natural knowledge, in desiring to ascertain the laws of comfort, has been driven to discover those of conduct, and to lay the foundations of a new morality.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “in the mind of man,
    A motion and a spirit, that impels
    All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
    And rolls through all things.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
