Time Force

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or force:

“The mystical nature of American consumption accounts for its joylessness. We spend a great deal of time in stores, but if we don’t seem to take much pleasure in our buying, it’s because we’re engaged in the acts of sacrifice and self-definition. Abashed in the presence of expensive merchandise, we recognize ourselves ... as supplicants admitted to a shrine.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

“The more we reduce ourselves to machines in the lower things, the more force we shall set free to use in the higher.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
