Slower Devices

Famous quotes containing the words slower and/or devices:

    It may be strange—yet who would change
    Time’s course to slower speeding,
    When one by one our friends have gone
    And left our bosoms bleeding?
    Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)

    There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)
