Famous quotes containing the words automatic and/or system:

    She smoothes her hair with automatic hand,
    And puts a record on the gramophone.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
