Famous quotes containing the words system and/or clock:

    “Delight at having understood a very abstract and obscure system leads most people to believe in the truth of what it demonstrates.”

    “What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
    And all alone comes riding there

    A slow low note and an iron bell.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
