Famous quotes containing the words fed and/or technical:
“And what was too nasty to feed a dog—that is precisely what you threw down before your god. Did he perhaps die of what you fed him?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
