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)

    “And the serial continues:
    Pain, expiation, delight, more pain,
    A frieze that lengthens continually, in the lucky way
    Friezes do, and no plot is produced,
    Nothing you could hang an identifying question on.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Again, the great number of cultivated men keep each other up to a high standard. The habit of meeting well-read and knowing men teaches the art of omission and selection.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Thou hast a voice, great Mountain, to repeal
    Large codes of fraud and woe; not understood
    By all, but which the wise, and great, and good
    Interpret, or make felt, or deeply feel.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
