Perfectly Inelastic Collision

Famous quotes containing the words perfectly and/or collision:

    Speak, even, as if I did not hear you speaking,
    But spoke for you perfectly in my thoughts,
    Conceiving words,
    As the night conceives the sea-sounds in silence,
    And out of their droning sibilants makes
    A serenade.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    When the wind carries a cry which is meaningful to human ears, it is simpler to believe the wind shares with us some part of the emotion of Being than that the mysteries of a hurricane’s rising murmur reduce to no more than the random collision of insensate molecules.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
