Famous quotes containing the words left, radio and/or industry:
“Weaker and weaker, the sunlight falls
In the afternoon. The proud and the strong

The finally human,
Natives of a dwindled sphere.”

but nevertheless, they shut off his gas; nevertheless,
the bank foreclosed; nevertheless, the landlord called;
nevertheless, the radio broke,
And twelve o’clock arrived just once too often,”
—Kenneth Fearing (1902–1961)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
