System Mass

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or mass:

    “Loving feels lonely in a violent world,
    irrelevant to people burning like last year’s weed
    with bellies distended, with fish throats agape
    and flesh melting down to glue.
    We can no longer shut out the screaming
    That leaks through the ventilation system ...”
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    “Reduced to a miserable mass level, the level of a Hitler, German Romanticism broke out into hysterical barbarism.”
