Technical Fire Control

Famous quotes containing the words technical, fire and/or control:

    When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.
    J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)

    As I pursued my bodily functions, wanting
    Neither fire nor water,
    Vibrating to the distant pinch
    And turning out the way I am, turning out to greet you.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    In view of the fact that the number of people living too long has risen catastrophically and still continues to rise.... Question: Must we live as long as modern medicine enables us to?... We control our entry into life, it is time we began to control our exit.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)
