Machine Quotes

I am beginning to think of the human imagination as a fruit machine on which victories are rare and separated by much vain expense, and represent a rare alignment of mental and spiritual qualities that normally are quite at odds Picture Quote #1

Machines were devised not to do a man out of a job, but to take the heavy labor from man’s back and place it on the broad back of the machine Picture Quote #1

To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate Picture Quote #1

I watched the piles of feces go up the conveyor belt... They made their way through the machine... A few minutes later I took a long taste of the end result: a glass of delicious drinking water Picture Quote #1

In the bureaucratic machine of socialism the way toward promotion is not achievement but the favor of the superiors Picture Quote #1

I have always felt it is my destiny to build a machine that would allow man to fly Picture Quote #1

There is civil disobedience against the military machine, protest against police brutality directed especially at people of color Picture Quote #1

You are always in the process of creating. Every moment, every minute, every day. You are a big creation machine and you are turning out a new manifestation literally as fast as you can think Picture Quote #1

And painted portraits have a life of their own that comes from deep in the soul of the painter and where the machine can’t go Picture Quote #1

Telephone message on his manager’s answering machine shortly before dying of heroin overdose: I need help bad, man Picture Quote #1

It is beneath human dignity to lose one’s individuality and become a mere cog in the machine Picture Quote #1

The arithmetical machine produces effects that approach nearer to thought than all the actions of animals. But it does nothing that would enable us to attribute will to it, as to the animals Picture Quote #1

There is no term comparable to green thumbs to apply to such a mechanic, but there should be. For there are men who can look, listen, tap, make an adjustment, and a machine works Picture Quote #1

The mind is a strange machine which can combine the materials offered to it in the most astonishing ways Picture Quote #1

Sing your praise of progress and the doom machine, the naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen Picture Quote #1

My mind seems to have become a kind of machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts, but why this should have caused the atrophy of that part of the brain that alone on which the higher tastes depend, I cannot conceive. A man with a mind more highly organised or better constituted than mine would not, I suppose, have thus suffered, and if I had to live my life over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week; for perhaps the parts of my brain now atrophied would thus have been kept alive through use Picture Quote #1

There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever Picture Quote #1

What a stupendous, what an incomprehensible machine is man! Who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment and death itself in vindication of his own liberty, and the next moment... inflict on his fellow men a bondage, one hour of which is fraught with more misery than ages of that which he rose in rebellion to oppose Picture Quote #1

Each little thing that we do passes into the great machine of life which may grind our virtues to powder and make them worthless, or transform our sins into elements of a new civilization, more marvelous and more splendid than any that has gone before Picture Quote #1

The institutions of human society treat us as parts of a machine. They assign us ranks and place considerable pressure upon us to fulfill defined roles. We need something to help us restore our lost and distorted humanity. Each of us has feelings that have been suppressed and have built up inside. There is a voiceless cry resting in the depths of our souls, waiting for expression. Art gives the soul’s feelings voice and form Picture Quote #1

When we relate to our bodies as having soul, we attend to their beauty, their poetry and their expressiveness. Our very habit of treating the body as a machine, whose muscles are like pulleys and its organs engines, forces its poetry underground, so that we experience the body as an instrument and see its poetics only in illness Picture Quote #1

What we need is a machine that will let us see the other guy’s point of view Picture Quote #1

Our mind is a machine, it is not a mystery. And the mind always wants to know the how, the why. And because of this persistent inquiry about how and why, it goes on missing all that is beyond the boundaries of machines. Life is beyond the boundaries of machines Picture Quote #1

For a long time it puzzled me how something so expensive, so leading edge, could be so useless. And then it occurred to me that a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match Picture Quote #1
