Text Quotes
A man has a very insecure tenure of a property which another can carry away with his eyes. A few months reduced me to the cruel necessity either of destroying my machine, or of giving it to the public. To destroy it, I could not think of; to give up that for which I had laboured so long, was cruel. I had no patent, nor the means of purchasing one. In preference to destroying, I gave it to the public  (Machine Quotes) When a body acts upon another one, it is always immediately or through some intermediate body; this intermediate body is in general what one calls a machine  (Machine Quotes) The military mind has one aim, and that is to make soldiers react as mechanically as possible. They want the same predictability in a man as they do in a telephone or a machine gun, and they train their soldiers to act as a unit, not as individuals  (Machine Quotes) Nature is a machine. The family is a machine. The life cycle is like a machine  (Machine Quotes) No matter how many people you kill, using a machine gun in battle is not a war crime because it does not cause unnecessary suffering; it simply performs its job horrifyingly well  (Machine Quotes) Shoot, there’s a committee to tell you everything at a record label. You definitely have to know who you are if you want to look like you at the end of the process. We’ve all seen people get record contracts, and by the time they’re spit out by the machine, we don’t even recognize them  (Machine Quotes) Hollywood is a very strong machine that needs, and in... especially with female actors, fresh flesh. It’s that cruel. But that’s the way it is  (Machine Quotes) My favorite films, I would put my answering machine up to the television set and hit record. I’d tape my favorite movies and then I could go back and listen to them again. I only had the soundtrack, I didn’t have the visuals. But I think it made me really pay attention to the soundtracks  (Machine Quotes) The camera machine cannot evade the objects which are in front of it. When the photographer selects this movement, the light, the objects, he must be true to them. If he includes in his space a strip of grass, it must be felt as the living differentiated thing it is and so recorded. It must take its proper but no less important place as a shape and a texture in relationship to the mountain tree or what not, which are included  (Machine Quotes) I see the human being is an incredible machine, totally undiscovered in many ways. Every one of us has a hidden tank of energy that comes out when it is needed  (Machine Quotes) For many of us, the computer is the means by which we earn a living. To give it a nod, then, is a way of thanking the tool for what it provides in life. It helps put bread on the table and a roof overhead. It gives us work and pleasure, exercises our minds, brings us information, connects us with other people. It is a partner helping us achieve our goals. Nodding also thanks the unseen hands and minds who helped create our machine  (Machine Quotes) That arithmetic is the basest of all mental activities is proved by the fact that it is the only one that can be accomplished by a machine  (Machine Quotes) A human being isn’t meant to be some kind of machine designed only for production. No. Human life isn’t just for work  (Machine Quotes) Order is a necessary condition for making a structure function. A physical mechanism, be it a team of laborers, the body of an animal, or a machine, can work only if it is in physical order  (Machine Quotes) I have switched on this modern laptop machine. And I have told myself that I must resist the temptation to start playing solitaire upon it  (Machine Quotes) Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without  (Machine Quotes) When I was a little kid, I took tap and ballet. I’ve always loved to dance. I’m a rhythm machine  (Machine Quotes) The artist can’t paint, sing, or dance without emotion: if he does, he is a machine masquerading as a person  (Machine Quotes) When we mistake what we can know for all there is to know, a healthy appreciation of one’s ignorance in the face of a mystery like soil fertility gives way to the hubris that we can treat nature as a machine. Once that leap has been made, one input follows another, so that when the synthetic nitrogen fed to plants makes them more attractive to insects and vulnerable to disease, as we have discovered, the farmer turns to chemical pesticides to fix his broken machine  (Machine Quotes) The reason for not going out and sinning all you like is the same as the reason for not going out and putting your nose in a slicing machine: its dumb, stupid, and no fun. Some individual sins may have pleasure still attached to them because of the residual goodness of the realities they are abusing: adultery can indeed be pleasant and tying one on can amuse. But betrayal, jealousy, love grown cold, and the gray dawn of the morning after are nobody’s idea of a good time  (Machine Quotes) I think there’s a fundamental moral issue about whether it’s right for a machine to decide to kill a person. It’s bad enough that people are deciding to kill people, but at least they have perhaps some moral argument that they’re doing it to ultimately defend their families or prevent some greater evil  (Machine Quotes) When all of your decisions are based on economics, you end up with a sameness of vision. You’re not taking the risks, you’re not exploiting the passions of your creators. You’re manufacturing product for a huge vending machine  (Machine Quotes) I go to the movies whenever I get the chance, because the movie theater is like the woods. It’s another place that’s like a time machine  (Machine Quotes) Within a science fictional space, memory and regret are, when taken together, the set of necessary and sufficient elements required to produce a time machine  (Machine Quotes) Normal is a cycle on the washing machine. There is no such thing when it comes to human beings  (Machine Quotes) The purpose of civilization and growth is to be able to reach out and empathize with other people... For me, the movies are like a machine that generates empathy  (Machine Quotes) Mathematics is the source of a wicked intellect that, while making man the lord of the earth, also makes him the slave of the machine  (Machine Quotes) How hard is it to build an intelligent machine? I don’t think it’s so hard, but that’s my opinion, and I’ve written two books on how I think one should do it. The basic idea I promote is that you mustn’t look for a magic bullet. You mustn’t look for one wonderful way to solve all problems. Instead you want to look for 20 or 30 ways to solve different kinds of problems. And to build some kind of higher administrative device that figures out what kind of problem you have and what method to use  (Machine Quotes) Some days I am the flower beneath the machine. And the machine rolls slowly on, blocking the sun, without a care for what it tramples beneath  (Machine Quotes) I do wish I believed in the life eternal, for it makes me quite miserable to think man is merely a kind of machine endowed, unhappily for himself, with consciousness  (Machine Quotes)
