Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

“The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

“The distance that the dead have gone
Does not at first appear—
Their coming back seems possible
For many an ardent year.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“I don’t know what the country’s coming to. Everyone trying to be better than their betters—mink coats and no manners. No wonder Germany’s arming.”
—Arthur Wimperis (1874–1953)
