Famous quotes containing the words installed, wind, energy and/or capacity:

    “Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre, and installed instead, as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise—nobody need read it, but anybody can do it.”
    —Marilyn Hacker (b. 1942)

    “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)

    “Long before Einstein told us that matter is energy, Machiavelli and Hobbes and other modern political philosophers defined man as a lump of matter whose most politically relevant attribute is a form of energy called “self-interestedness.” This was not a portrait of man “warts and all.” It was all wart.”
    —George F. Will (b. 1941)

    “We have dreamt of every woman there is, and dreamt too of the miracle that would bring us the pleasure of being a woman, for women have all the qualities—courage, passion, the capacity to love, cunning—whereas all our imagination can do is naively pile up the illusion of courage.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
