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)

    “My idea is that the world outside—the so-called modern world—can only pervert and degrade the conceptions of the primitive instinct of art and feeling, and that our only chance is to accept the limited number of survivors—the one- in-a-thousand of born artists and poets—and to intensify the energy of feeling within that radiant centre.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “I cannot help thinking that the menace of Hell makes as many devils as the severe penal codes of inhuman humanity make villains.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
