Top 1200 Tidal Waves Quotes & Sayings

The waves broke and spread their waters swiftly over the shore. One after another they massed themselves and fell; the spray tossed itself back with the energy of their fall.

And yet...we ignore it, and learn nothing from it. One day we'll die of voluntary ignorance

When gravitational waves reach the earth, the waves stretch and squeeze space. This is a tiny stretch and squeeze. Far too small to detect with ordinary human senses.

Suppose a number of equal waves of water to move upon the surface of a stagnant lake, with a certain constant velocity, and to enter a narrow channel leading out of the lake.

Neither series of waves will destroy the other, but their effects will be combined.

The eager or dutiful persons who subject themselves to these tidal waves of the classics and the moderns find everything wonderful in an absent-minded way.

Perhaps then I may describe the end of the physical world as-one stupendous broadcast.

How this feels is I'm just another task in God's daily planner: The Renaissance pencilled in for right after the Dark Ages.

Then maybe in thirty years, or maybe next year, God's daily planner has me finished.

When you read a book, you generate beta waves irrespective of the book's content.
