Famous quotes containing the words electric, energy, consumption, member and/or countries:

    “The more I see of democracy the more I dislike it. It just brings everything down to the mere vulgar level of wages and prices, electric light and water closets, and nothing else.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Long before Einstein told us that matter is energy, Machiavelli and Hobbes and other modern political philosophers defined man as a lump of matter whose most politically relevant attribute is a form of energy called “self-interestedness.” This was not a portrait of man “warts and all.” It was all wart.”
    —George F. Will (b. 1941)

    “Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “When Hitler attacked the Jews ... I was not a Jew, therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the unions and the industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and I was not concerned. Then, Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church—and there was nobody left to be concerned.”
    —Martin Niemller (1892–1984)

    “In countries where there is a mild climate, less effort is expended on the struggle with nature and man is kinder and more gentle.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
