Necessity Quotations
The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one. Albert Einstein There is a blessed necessity by which the interest of men is always driving them to the right; and, again, making all crime mean and ugly. Ralph Waldo Emerson Necessity... the mother of invention. Plato Not necessity, not desire - no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health, food, a place to live, entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied. Friedrich Nietzsche By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. Ralph Waldo Emerson |
