“Nothing could be more admirable than the manner in which for forty years he [Joseph Black] performed this useful and dignified office. His style of lecturing was as nearly perfect as can well be conceived; for it had all the simplicity which is so entirely suited to scientific discourse, while it partook largely of the elegance which characterized all he said or did ... I have heard the greatest understandings of the age giving forth their efforts in its most eloquent tongues-have heard the commanding periods of Pitt's majestic oratory-the vehemence of Fox's burning declamation-have followed the close-compacted chain of Grant's pure reasoning-been carried away by the mingled fancy, epigram, and argumentation of Plunket; but I should without hesitation prefer, for mere intellectual gratification (though aware how much of it is derived from association), to be once more allowed the privilege which I in those days enjoyed of being present while the first philosopher of his age was the historian of his own discoveries, and be an eyewitness of those experiments by which he had formerly made them, once more performed with his own hands.”

“Unconscious, perhaps, of the remote tendency of his own labours, he [Joseph Black] undermined that doctrine of material heat, which he seemed to support. For, by his advocacy of latent heat, he taught that its movements constantly battle, not only some of our senses, but all of them; and that, while our feelings make us believe that heat is lost, our intellect makes us believe that it is not lost. Here, we have apparent destructibility, and real indestructibility. To assert that a body received heat without its temperature rising, was to make the understanding correct the touch, and defy its dictates. It was a bold and beautiful paradox, which required courage as well as insight to broach, and the reception of which marks an epoch in the human mind, because it was an immense step towards idealizing matter into force.”

“Dimmi in quale occasione ti sono parsa complicata!" "Tu non l'appari, ma lo sei. Dentro, nel profondo di te. Intuisco in te come un continuo scontro contraddittorio che riesci a nascondere assai bene. Dentro di te c'è un vero e proprio labirinto, Arianna, pieno d'angoli oscuri, di viottoli ciechi, d'abissi e di caverne." "Addirittura!" "Tu non puoi o non vuoi rendertene conto. Sappi comunque che io non mi ci avventurerei nemmeno se mi fornissi il tuo filo, Arianna. Avrei paura a incontrare il tuo Minotauro. Non sono mica Teseo.”
