Wide Range System

Famous quotes containing the words wide, range and/or system:

    Scared, huh. I ain’t never gonna be scared no more. I was though. For a while it looked as though we was beat, good and beat. Looked like we didn’t have nobody in the whole wide world but enemies. Like nobody was friendly no more. Made me feel kind a bad and scared too. Like we was lost and nobody cared.
    Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)

    Lord Bateman prepared for another marriage,
    So both their hearts so full of glee.
    ‘I will range no more to foreign countries
    Now since Sophia have a-crossed the sea.’
    Unknown. Young Beichan (l. 81–84)

    The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
