Mechanical Motion

Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or motion:

    “No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
    —Max Weber (1864–1920)

    “Speech belongs half to the speaker, half to the listener. The latter must prepare to receive it according to the motion it takes.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
