Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or births:

    “Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “As the births of living creatures, at first, are ill-shapen: so are all Innovations, which are the births of time.”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
