Pressure Waves

Famous quotes containing the words pressure and/or waves:

“Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say “no.” I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.”

“And the waves sing because they are moving.
And the waves sing above a cemetery of waters.”
