Famous quotes containing the words proposed and/or developments:

    “It has been proposed that the town should adopt for its coat of arms a field verdant, with the Concord circling nine times round.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
    Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
