Famous quotes containing the words automatic and/or poetry:
“Predictions of the future are never anything but projections of present automatic processes and procedures, that is, of occurrences that are likely to come to pass if men do not act and if nothing unexpected happens; every action, for better or worse, and every accident necessarily destroys the whole pattern in whose frame the prediction moves and where it finds its evidence.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“An age which is incapable of poetry is incapable of any kind of literature except the cleverness of a decadence.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
