Designed

Famous quotes containing the word designed:

    Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    Oh he
    Comes designed to my love to steal not her tide raking
    Wound, nor her riding high, nor her eyes, nor kindled hair,
    But her faith....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    It is impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death should ever have been designed by Providence as an evil to mankind.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
