Dead Engine

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or engine:

    Here is the ancient floor,
    Footworn and hollowed and thin
    Here was the former door
    Where the dead feet walked in.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is perfect, the engineer is nobody. Every new step in improving the engine restricts one more act of the engineer,—unteaches him.
