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)

    The burning of rebellious thoughts in the little breast, of internal hatred and opposition, could not long go on without slight whiffs of external smoke, such as mark the course of subterranean fire.
    Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

    A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass.
    Hester Lynch Piozzi (1741–1821)
