Famous quotes containing the words machine and/or gun:

    “But it is found that the machine unmans the user. What he gains in making cloth, he loses in general power. There should be a temperance in making cloth, as well as in eating.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say ‘you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word.’”
    —David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Al Capone (Robert DeNiro)
