Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or types:

    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    ... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
