In Quebec, as women were getting more power, there were the men who agreed with that and the men who were afraid. I think most men are willing to share power with women, but there's fear. Every time you change something, there's a friction.

To me, this is the perfect marriage. There's no friction. There's just, we have what they need, they have what we need. And so IBM is in the process, with our help, of designing many different apps for many different verticals.

Frank-Walter Steinmeier

Today, our world is more interconnected than ever. This offers many opportunities; it creates wealth and new freedoms. Yet our world is also vulnerable, full of friction points and conflicts of interest.

German Politician

Jonathan Van Ness

Leaving your hair down to sleep causes friction on your ends between your body heat and the pillow case. Securing the ends away from your body helps preserve your ends.

American Entertainer

Every friendship goes through ups and downs. Dysfunctional patterns set in; external situations cause internal friction; you grow apart and then bounce back together.

British Journalist

Bettany Hughes

Economic, political and military intervention following the first world war is frequently blamed for current friction between east and west.

Alexander Skarsgard

We are civilized human beings, but we're all animals deep down, and that creates a certain friction in all of us.

From our earliest days, Booking.com has been deploying technology to help strip the friction out of travel.

The world is wide, and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum.

If your writing collides with the conventional wisdom, there's going to be some kind of friction.

Indian Novelist

Friction occurs when two surfaces physically interact, often when one object moves over another.

Physical Interaction

While friction can cause wear, it's also essential for grip, like walking without slipping.

Not Always Negative

Smooth surfaces have less friction, while rough surfaces increase it.

Surface Texture

Friction metaphorically describes tension or challenges in relationships and interactions.

Relationship Strain

This type of friction doesn't involve physical contact, but rather differences in opinions or interests.

Not Literal Conflict

Friction can lead to positive change if it prompts discussion and resolution of issues.

Potentially Beneficial

Repeated friction can lead to damage or wear on the objects involved, like in machinery.

Cause of Wear

Rubbing objects together generates heat through friction, which you can feel.

 They'd all hiked up the normal trail on the back, which I was planning on using for my descent. But between me and the summit lay a blank slab of granite. There were no cracks or edges to hold on to, just small ripples of texture up a slightly less than vertical wall. I had to trust my life to the friction between my climbing shoes and the smooth granite. I carefully balanced my way upward,

The second law of thermodynamics tells us that energy tends to spread out through processes like friction.

 But that's really only half of the story. The real story is that the computer is on one side, making suggestions to the robot, and on the other side are the physics of the world. And that physics involves gravity, friction, bouncing into things.
