Famous quotes containing the words electricity, generation and/or wind:

    “Prudence and justice tell me that in electricity and steam there is more love for man than in chastity and abstinence from meat.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “By this unprincipled facility of changing the state as often, and as much, and in as many ways as there are floating fancies or fashions, the whole chain and continuity of the commonwealth would be broken. No one generation could link with the other. Men would become little better than the flies of a summer.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “Row after row with strict impunity
    The headstones yield their names to the element,
    The wind whirrs without recollection....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
