Treated Quantum Mechanically

Famous quotes containing the words treated, quantum and/or mechanically:

    To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    A personality is an indefinite quantum of traits which is subject to constant flux, change, and growth from the birth of the individual in the world to his death. A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.
    Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)

    For you, o broker, there is no other principle but arithmetic. For me, commerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred; nor can I detach one duty, like you, from all other duties, and concentrate my forces mechanically on the payment of moneys.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
