Famous quotes containing the words quirks and/or mode:

One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”

“If Thought is capable of being classed with Electricity, or Will with chemical affinity, as a mode of motion, it seems necessary to fall at once under the second law of thermodynamics as one of the energies which most easily degrades itself, and, if not carefully guarded, returns bodily to the cheaper form called Heat.

—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
