State Machines

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or machines:

“I met a Californian who would
Talk California—a state so blessed
He said, in climate, none had ever died there
A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
And vindicate the state’s humanity.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.”
