Famous quotes containing the words external, electric and/or field:

    “My grief lies all within,
    And these external manners of laments

    There lies the substance.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Persons grouped around a fire or candle for warmth or light are less able to pursue independent thoughts, or even tasks, than people supplied with electric light. In the same way, the social and educational patterns latent in automation are those of self- employment and artistic autonomy.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “Last night I watched my brothers play,
    The gentle and the reckless one,
    In a field two yards away.
    For half a century they were gone
    Beyond the other side of care
    To be among the peaceful dead.”
    —Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
