Famous quotes containing the words build and/or automation:
“Poetry is the supreme fiction, madame.
Take the moral law and make a nave of it
And from the nave build haunted heaven. Thus,
The conscience is converted into palms,
Like windy citherns hankering for hymns.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Besides black art, there is only automation and mechanization.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
