Weight Machines

Famous quotes containing the words weight and/or machines:

“as his weight wilts
and he is on a porch
that won’t hold my arms,
or the legs of the race run
forwards, or the film
played backwards on his grandson’s eyes.”
—Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)

“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.”
