Machine Marketed

Famous quotes containing the words machine and/or marketed:

    The chrysanthemums’ astringent fragrance comes
    Each year to disguise the clanking mechanism
    Of machine within machine within machine.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    We see daily that our lives are terrible and little, without continuity, buyable and salable at any moment, mere blips on a screen, that this is the way we live now. Memory marketed as nostalgia; terror reduced to mere suspense, to melodrama.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
