Famous quotes containing the words flush and/or system:
“Say what they will of the glowing independence one feels in the saddle, give me the first morning flush of your cheery pedestrian!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
