Famous quotes with Spawns

  • Perfection spawns doctrines, dictators and totalitarian ideas.
    Antonio Tabucchi
  • Organized religion preaches Order and Love but spawns Chaos and Fury. Why?
    Kerry Thornley
  • It's probably wrong to believe there can be any limit to the horror which the human mind can experience. On the contrary, it seems that some exponential effect begins to obtain as deeper and deeper darkness falls - as little as one may like to support the idea that when the nightmare grows black enough, horror spawns horror, one coincidental evil begets other, often more deliberate evils, until finally blackness seems to cover everything. And the most terrifying question of all may be just how much horror the human mind can stand and still maintain a wakeful, staring, unrelenting sanity. That such events have their own Rube Goldberg absurdity goes almost without saying. At some point, it all starts to become rather funny. That may be the point at which sanity begins either to save itself or to buckle and break down; that point at which one's sense of humor begins to reassert itself.
    Stephen King
  • The more interconnected a technology is, the more opportunities it spawns for both use and misuse.
    Kevin Kelly (editor)
