Famous quotes containing the words portable and/or device:
“Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Corporation. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
