Famous quotes containing the word fire:
“Let it be forgotten as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
“Persons grouped around a fire or candle for warmth or light are less able to pursue independent thoughts, or even tasks, than people supplied with electric light. In the same way, the social and educational patterns latent in automation are those of self- employment and artistic autonomy.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
