Engine Failed

Famous quotes containing the words engine and/or failed:

    “Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Psychology has nothing to say about what women are really like, what they need and what they want, essentially because psychology does not know.... this failure is not limited to women; rather, the kind of psychology that has addressed itself to how people act and who they are has failed to understand in the first place why people act the way they do, and certainly failed to understand what might make them act differently.”
    —Naomi Weisstein, U.S. psychologist, feminist, and author. Psychology Constructs the Female (1969)
