Corporation: An ingenious device for obtaining profit without individual responsibility.
Ambrose Bierce
First, utopianism is probably a necessary social device for generating the superhuman efforts without which no major revolution is achieved.
Eric Hobsbawm
A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.
H. L. Mencken
There's a gullible side to the American people. They can be easily misled. Religion is the best device used to mislead them.
Michael Moore
Whatever device you use, Windows will be there. Windows will be everywhere on every device without compromise.
Steve Ballmer
A weapon is a device for making your enemy change his mind.
Lois McMaster Bujold
ALL religions of a spiritual nature are inventions of man. He has created an entire system of gods with nothing more than his carnal brain. Just because he has an ego, and cannot accept it, he has to externalize it into some great spiritual device which he calls "God".
Anton LaVey
What, exactly, is the internet Basically it is a global network exchanging digitized data in such a way that any computer, anywhere, that is equipped with a device called a 'modem', can make a noise like a duck choking on a kazoo.
Dave Barry
Silence has been destroyed, but also the idea that it's important to learn how another person thinks, to enter the mind of another person. The whole idea of empathy is gone. We are now part of this giant machine where every second we have to take out a device and contribute our thoughts and opinions.
Gary Shteyngart
I was lucky because logarithmic plots are a device of the devil.
Charles Francis Richter
I've been telling people for 12 years that if you want to get a nuclear device into the United States, just bring it through the port of Miami disguised as cocaine.
Tom Clancy
[Proportional representation is a] device for defeating democracy, the principle of which was that the majority should rule, and for bringing faddists of all kinds into Parliament, and establishing groups and disintegrating parties.
David Lloyd George
He who first shortened the labor of copyists by device of movable types was disbanding hired armies, and cashiering most kings and senates, and creating a whole new democratic world: he had invented the art of printing.
Thomas Carlyle
The shades of night were falling fast, As through an Alpine village passed A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice, A banner with the strange device, Excelsior.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We - mankind - stand at the center of an evolutionary crisis, with a new evolutionary device - our consciousness of the crisis - as our unique contribution.
Margaret Mead
When scientists need to explain difficult points of theory, illustration by hypothetical example - rather than by total abstraction - works well (perhaps indispensably) as a rhetorical device. Such cases do not function as speculations in the pejorative sense - as silly stories that provide insight into complex mechanisms - but rather as idealized illustrations to exemplify a difficult point of theory. (Other fields, like philosophy and the law, use such conjectural cases as a standard device.)
Stephen Jay Gould
All the consumer market mojo is with Apple and to a lesser extent BlackBerry. And yet, the real market momentum with operators and the real market momentum with device manufacturers seems to primarily be with Windows Mobile and Android.
Steve Ballmer
Do not be alarmed by simplification, complexity is often a device for claiming sophistication, or for evading simple truths.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Shin a device for finding furniture in the dark.
Steven Wright
We had the hardware expertise, the industrial design expertise and the software expertise, including iTunes. One of the biggest insights we have was that we decided not to try to manage your music library on the iPod, but to manage it in iTunes. Other companies tried to do everything on the device itself and made it so complicated that it was useless.
Steve Jobs
Philosophy is antipoetic. Philosophize about mankind and you brush aside individual uniqueness, which a poet cannot do without self-damage. Unless, for a start, he has a strong personal rhythm to vary his metrics, he is nothing. Poets mistrust philosophy. They know that once the heads are counted, each owner of a head loses his personal identity and becomes a number in some government scheme: if not as a slave or serf, at least as a party to the device of majority voting, which smothers personal views.
Robert Graves
I wear a pedometer, a little device that counts every step. It works as a goad, because you walk additional distances to pile up the numbers. The average person walks 2,000 to 3,000 steps a day. I walk 10,000 steps a day. I have lost a lot of weight as a result.
Roger Ebert
