Famous quotes containing the words special and/or forces:

    “‘I mean to retire, where
    Nobody will have heard about my special skills
    And conversation is mainly about the wearther.”
    —Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin (b.1942)

    “Is there something in trade that dessicates and flattens out, that turns men into dried leaves at the age of forty? Certainly there is. It is not due to trade but to intensity of self- seeking, combined with narrowness of occupation.... Business has destroyed the very knowledge in us of all other natural forces except business.”
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
