Famous quotes containing the words man-made and/or structures:

    “No other man-made device since the shields and lances of the ancient knights fulfills a man’s ego like an automobile.”
    —Sir William Rootes (1894–1964)

    “It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
