Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or features:

    A technical objection is the first refuge of a scoundrel.
    Heywood Broun (1888–1939)

    The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
