Famous quotes containing the words pick and/or systems:
“I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
