Odd Powers

Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or powers:

“I wonder if his appetite was good?
Or, if it were, if also his digestion?
Methinks at meals some odd thoughts might intrude,
And conscience ask a curious sort of question,
About the right divine how far we should
Sell flesh and blood.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Magic and all that is ascribed to it is a deep presentiment of the powers of science.”
