Wind Mills

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or mills:

    Spirit, spirit of gentleness,
    blow through the wilderness, calling and free,
    Spirit, spirit of restlessness,
    stir me from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.
    James K. Manley (20th century)

    Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.
    —C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
