Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

    What can he mean by coming among us? He is not only dull himself, but the cause of dullness in others.
    Samuel Foote (1720–1777)

    The things that were coming to be talked about
    Have come and gone and are still remembered
    As being recent. There is a grain of curiosity
    At the base of some new thing, that unrolls
    Its question mark like a new wave on the shore.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.
    Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
