Post Industrial Society

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

    I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
    Those undreamt accidents that have made me

    Notorious, till all my priceless things
    Are but a post the passing dogs defile.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
