Mechanical Bride

Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or bride:

    The correct rate of speed in innovating changes in long-standing social customs has not yet been determined by even the most expert of the experts. Personally I am beginning to think there is more danger in lagging than in speeding up cultural change to keep pace with mechanical change.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    Of what is real I say,
    Is it the old, the roseate parent or
    The bride come jingling, kissed and cupped, or else
    The spirit and all ensigns of the self?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
