Dr. Flint had sworn that he would make me suffer, to my last day, for this new crime against him, as he called it; and as long as he had me in his power he kept his word. Harriet Ann Jacobs
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. Hermann von Helmholtz
Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.
