But heat can also be produced by the friction of liquids, in which there could be no question of changes in structure, or of the liberation of latent heat. ↗

Heat can also be produced by the impact of imperfectly elastic bodies as well as by friction. This is the case, for instance, when we produce fire by striking flint against steel, or when an iron bar is worked for some time by powerful blows of the hammer. ↗

The older view of the nature of heat was that it is a substance, very fine and imponderable indeed, but indestructible, and unchangeable in quantity, which is an essential fundamental property of all matter. ↗

What appeared to the earlier physicists to be the constant quantity of heat is nothing more than the whole motive power of the motion of heat, which remains constant so long as it is not transformed into other forms of work, or results afresh from them. ↗

What looks absolutely fabulous in rehearsal can fall flat in front of an audience. The audience dictates what you do or don't change. ↗

You can't plan for the future, because some guy's going to land in a spaceship with three heads and a big beak and take over everything. ↗

Adolescence represents an inner emotional upheaval, a struggle between the eternal human wish to cling to the past and the equally powerful wish to get on with the future. ↗

The more dynamic the capitalistic expansion, the greater the disparity. It is from the disparity that we are going to get all the political upheaval for the next few years. ↗
