Famous quotes containing the words traffic, flow and/or theory:
“Irony, forsooth! Guard yourself, Engineer, from the sort of irony that thrives up here; guard yourself altogether from taking on their mental attitude! Where irony is not a direct and classic device of oratory, not for a moment equivocal to a healthy mind, it makes for depravity, it becomes a drawback to civilization, an unclean traffic with the forces of reaction, vice and materialism.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“Logic and fact keep interfering with the easy flow of conversation.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Could Shakespeare give a theory of Shakespeare?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
