Famous quotes containing the words rail and/or system:
“For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.”

“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
