Mechanical Movements

Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or movements:

    There is only one evil, to deny life
    As Rome denied Etruria
    And mechanical America Montezuma still.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connexion with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle.
    Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)
