Famous quotes containing the words engine and/or speed:

    “Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Life is too short to waste
    In critic peep or cynic bark,
    Quarrel or reprimand:
    ‘Twill soon be dark;
    Up, heed thine own aim, and
    God speed the mark!”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
