William Godwin

Sympathy is one of the principles most widely rooted in our nature: we rejoice to see ourselves reflected in another; and, perversely enough, we sometimes have a secret pleasure in seeing the sin which dwells in ourselves existing under a deformed and monstrous aspect in another.

English Writer

Henry Cabot Lodge

Are ideals confined to this deformed experiment upon a noble purpose, tainted, as it is, with bargains and tied to a peace treaty which might have been disposed of long ago to the great benefit of the world if it had not been compelled to carry this rider on its back?

American Politician

Rita Rudner

Barbie ruined my life! It's a really bad image for women. For a long time I thought I was deformed - because my heels didn't touch the ground. I was walking around on tiptoes. What's up with that? I think that it's a bad thing for a woman to try to emulate.

American Comedian

Keith Gessen

To be on the other side of the law-and-order machine in this country is awful. It is dehumanizing and degrading and deforming. It fills you with a helpless rage because, once there, you can only make things worse for yourself by speaking up.

American Novelist

Steven Pressfield

The more important a call to action is to our soul's evolution, the more Resistance we will feel about answering it. But to yield to Resistance deforms our spirit. It stunts us and makes us less than we are and were born to be.

American Author

W. G. Sebald

I don't want to talk about my trials and tribulations. Once you reveal even part of what your real problems might be in life, they come back in a deformed way.

German Writer

Dalai Lama

The word 'deform' often implies something looks worse after being changed, not just different.

Visual Impact

'Deform' suggests the change was unintended and unwanted, typically as a result of damage.

Negative Change

Using 'deform' hints that the process of change was irregular or uneven.

Irregular Process

'Deform' in physics often involves a discussion of the specific forces applied to objects.

Force Application

The term can relate to discussions on how different materials respond to stress.

Material Properties

In science, 'deform' might mean a permanent or temporary shape change, known as plastic or elastic deformation.

Permanent vs. Temporary

In medicine, 'deform' is often used for serious conditions, not just cosmetic issues.

Medical Condition

This term is sometimes used to describe abnormal growth or development of the body.

Growth and Development

 But combustion is an exothermic reaction, meaning it releases heat. Lots of it. And while much of this heat escapes through the tail pipe, the heat that remains in the engine block needs to be absorbed, transported, and dissipated to protect the metal components from deforming or even melting. This is where the cooling system comes in.
