Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“A little on the side—very little.”
—A. Edward Sullivan, U.S. screenwriter. Professor Quail (W.C. Fields)
