Famous quotes containing the words operating and/or systems:

    “I think there are innumerable gods. What we on earth call God is a little tribal God who has made an awful mess. Certainly forces operating through human consciousness control events.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    “The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
    —Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
