Simulated Internal Power

Famous quotes containing the words simulated, internal and/or power:

    Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.
    Richard Louv (20th century)

    Unlike femininity, relaxed masculinity is at bottom empty, a limp nullity. While the female body is full of internal potentiality, the male is internally barren.... Manhood at the most basic level can be validated and expressed only in action.
    George Gilder (b. 1939)

    Those lumbering horses in the steady plough,
    On the bare field—I wonder why, just now,
    They seemed terrible, so wild and strange,
    Like magic power on the stony grange.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
