Famous quotes containing the words engine, serial, number and/or codes:

    “The will is never free—it is always attached to an object, a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car—it can’t steer.”
    —Joyce Cary (1888–1957)

    “The serial number of a human specimen is the face, that accidental and unrepeatable combination of features. It reflects neither character nor soul, nor what we call the self. The face is only the serial number of a specimen.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    “God ... created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed—that is the meaning of evolution.”
    —Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    “... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
