Gravity Quotes
-
I once asked a bird, how is it that you fly in this gravity of darkness? She responded, 'love lifts me.'
Hafez -
I loved Vincent and he loved me in the abiding way most couples in good marriages love each other, that way in which every once in a while there is a longing for someone you haven't yet met. A longing that comes upon you while you are loading the dishwasher or weeding the garden or sitting in front of the television or turning out the light to go to sleep, and you don't even know what it is, this longing, and you think maybe you're in need of a vacation or maybe you are dying because the ache of it hurts so fucking much…That ache, it went away when I met Henry; it went away as if it had been a headache instead of located nowhere precisely. Its not that I wanted to fall in love with Henry, but I did just the same because you can't keep from falling in love any more than you can keep snow from falling from the sky in winter. Gravity is gravity.

-
High sprits they had: gravity they flouted.
C. Day Lewis -
We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main missing piece.
Kip Thorne -
It's a law, a law of the universe. Like gravity or stupidity or how a minor chord always sounds sad.
Catherynne M. Valente -
Gravity is more suggestive than convincing.
Douglas Jerrold -
Thus far I have explained the phenomena of the heavens and of our sea by the force of gravity, but I have not yet assigned a cause to gravity. Indeed, this force arises from some cause that penetrates as far as the centers of the sun and planets without any diminution of its power to act, and that acts not in proportion to the quantity of the surfaces of the particles on which it acts (as mechanical causes are wont to do) but in proportion to the quantity of solid matter, and whose action is extended everywhere to immense distances, always decreasing as the squares of the distances.
Isaac Newton -
I have a strong disrespect for authority and for rules. Including gravity. Gravity sucks.
Sebastian Thrun
-
When you play from the heart, all of a sudden there's no gravity. You don't feel the weight of the world, of bills, of anything. That's why people love it. Your so-called insurmountable problems disappear, and instead of problems you get possibilities.
Carlos Santana Santana -
Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.
Aristotle -
I have been an "Official" all my life, without the least turn for it. I never could attain a true official manner, which is highly artificial and handles trifles with ludicrously disproportionate gravity.
William Allingham -
The gravity is the first thing which you don't think.
Albert Einstein -
After quitting gymnastics in 2000, I was looking for that next thing where I could defy gravity. I was looking for something that had the flipping and the twisting and allowed me to be acrobatic.
David Boudia -
Sometimes I feel so- I don’t know - lonely. The kind of helpless feeling when everything you’re used to has been ripped away. Like there’s no more gravity, and I’m left to drift in outer space with no idea where I’m going’ Like a little lost Sputnik?’ I guess so.
Haruki Murakami
-
Gravity is a response to geometry.
Albert Einstein -
One of the main successes of string theory is that it has been able to unify the general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, and quantum mechanics.
Ashoke Sen -
What's aero braking? That's a way to use the gravity and upper atmosphere of Earth to sling shot a ship out either deeper into space, or slow it down to be 'captured' by Earth's gravity.
Buzz Aldrin -
Once information slipped the bonds of gravity and friction, it tended to gather where it was most valuable.
H. W. Brands -
In the school I went to, they asked a kid to prove the law of gravity and he threw the teacher out of the window.
Jack Roy -
Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he discovered the law of gravity. He replied, "By thinking about it all the time.
Isaac Newton
-
It's embarrassing that we're in the 21st century and we don't even know what makes gravity work. I'm getting older and thinking maybe I should tackle more than the mundane. I may fail, but at least I will have tried.
Elwood G. Norris -
It would have been cruel in Miss Havisham, horribly cruel, to practise on the susceptibility of a poor boy, and to torture me through all these years with a vain hope and an idle pursuit, if she had reflected on the gravity of what she did. But I think she did not. I think that in the endurance of her own trial, she forgot mine, Estella.
Charles Dickens -
When a man jumps out of a ten-story building, he doesn't break the law of gravity, he demonstrates it.
