Open Pace

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or pace:

    When strawberries go begging, and the sleek
    Blue plums lie open to the blackbird’s beak,
    We shall live well—we shall live very well.
    Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)

    The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
