Famous quotes containing the words cutting and/or machines:
“The sole work and deed of universal freedom is therefore death, a death too which has no inner significance or filling, for what is negated is the empty point of the absolutely free self. It is thus the coldest and meanest of all deaths, with no more significance than cutting off a head of cabbage or swallowing a mouthful of water.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
