Post Industrial Society

Famous quotes containing the words post, industrial and/or society:

    My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    The clock, not the steam-engine, is the key-machine of the modern industrial age.
    Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one’s people that has not previously been taken into account.
    Alice Walker (b. 1944)
