Wind Mills

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or mills:

    Is that the wind dying? O no;
    It’s only two devils, that blow
    Through a murderer’s bones, to and fro,
    In the ghosts’ moonshine.
    Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)

    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)
