Talking Machine Company

Famous quotes containing the words talking, machine and/or company:

    It’s plain the Bible means
    That Solomon grew wise
    While talking with his queens....

    Much that is natural, to the will must yield.
    Men manufacture both machine and soul,
    And use what they imperfectly control
    To dare a future from the taken routes.
    Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

    In common with other rural regions much of the Iowa farm lore concerns the coming of company. When the rooster crows in the doorway, or the cat licks his fur, company is on the way.
