Mechanical Force

Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or force:

    Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.

    My dear Kafka,
    When you’ve had five years of it, not five months,
    Five years of an irresistible force meeting an immoveable object right in your belly,
    Then you’ll know about depression.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
