System Files

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or files:

“Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident—the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.”
—Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)

“Here files of pins extend their shining rows,
Puffs, powders, patches, bibles, billet-doux.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
