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

    “There are two great unknown forces to-day, electricity and woman, but men can reckon much better on electricity than they can on woman.”
    —Josephine K. Henry, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 15, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)

    “I’m afraid for all those who’ll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines.... What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!”
    —Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

    “and yet hands, hands growing out of pictures,
    hands crawling out of the walls,
    hands that excite oblivion,
    like a wind ...”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
