Famous quotes containing the words mechanized and/or division:

    “War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    “Don’t order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple.... Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don’t know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
