Mechanical Bride

Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or bride:

    Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Of what is real I say,
    Is it the old, the roseate parent or
    The bride come jingling, kissed and cupped, or else
    The spirit and all ensigns of the self?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
