Famous quotes containing the words paris and/or gibson:

    [The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    The designers [of the 1930s] were populists, you see; they were trying to give the public what it wanted. What the public wanted was the future.
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)
