Machinery

Famous quotes containing the word machinery:

“There has been something crude and heartless and unfeeling in our haste to succeed and be great. Our thought has been “Let every man look out for himself, let every generation look out for itself,” while we reared giant machinery which made it impossible that any but those who stood at the levers of control should have any chance to look out for themselves.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

“angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to
the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

“Man will never be enslaved by machinery if the man tending the machine be paid enough.”
—Karel Capek (1890–1938)
