It is true you cannot eat freedom and you cannot power machinery with democracy. But then neither can political prisoners turn on the light in the cells of a dictatorship.

Don't you have a machine that puts food into the mouth and pushes it down?

As far away as you can get from the process of mechanisms and machinery the more likely your food's going to taste good. And that - that is probably the largest thing I can hand to anybody is let your hands touch it. Let them make it.

As the earth spins through space a view from above the North Pole would encompass most of the wealth of the world - most of its food productive machines doctors engineers and teachers. A view from the opposite pole would encompass most of the world's poor.

We may find in the long run that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine-gun.

He makes me laugh Mick! He tended to turn up when we were having lunch and entertain us all. He bought an Enigma machine! I've never worked with a producer who was more famous than everyone put together.

I have deep respect for people's individual faith but when faith gets connected to the machinery of state or the machinery of hate I find it very confronting.

That is not to say that we can relax our readiness to defend ourselves. Our armament must be adequate to the needs but our faith is not primarily in these machines of defense but in ourselves.

The course of the flight up and down was exceedingly erratic partly due to the irregularity of the air and partly to lack of experience in handling this machine. The control of the front rudder was difficult on account of its being balanced too near the center.

In some movies you feel like you're a very small part of a huge machine. Whereas in the theater you can have a very small part but you can still feel the weight and the gravity of it. Given the nature of theater it's a more concentrated and quiet experience.

I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life make observations and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop and my ambitions are different.

It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits a superinducing of an artificial organization upon the natural organization of the body.

Education then beyond all other devices of human origin is the great equalizer of the conditions of men the balance-wheel of the social machinery.

I would go to bed every night and have dreams about having a time machine and somehow I'd have the ability to move through time and space freely and save Anne Frank.

Looking back video game design seems a natural fit although there was no such thing when I was growing up. I built a Tic-Tac-Toe playing machine in my teens which went up in smoke on the night it was scheduled to go to a science fair.

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.

We must carefully consider card security solutions such as adding photographs or machine-readable electronic strips so to prevent further breaches of individual privacy that could result from changes to the design of Social Security Cards.

But I was very very lucky and it was a wake up call as far as motorbikes are concerned. I never flirted with death on the bike but now I'm totally convinced they're death machines.

I took my courage in both hands and went to the Laundromat to do my washing. I had to use three machines.

I think I was lucky to come of age in a place and time - the American South in the 1960s and '70s - when the machine hadn't completely taken over life. The natural world was still the world and machines - TV telephone cars - were still more or less ancillary and computers were unheard of in everyday life.

We've been working now with computers and education for 30 years computers in developing countries for 20 years and trying to make low-cost machines for 10 years. This is not a sudden turn down the road.

China has legally purchased high performance computers advanced machine tools and semiconductor-manufacturing equipment from several American companies.

It seems like everything that we see perceived in the brain before we actually use our own eyes that everything we see is coming through computers or machines and then is being input in our brain cells. So that really worries me.

If the machines can take the drudgery out of it and just leave us with the joy of drawing then that's the best of both worlds - and I'll use those computers!
