The suddenness of the leap from hardware to software cannot but produce a period of anarchy and collapse, especially in the developed countries.
Marshall McLuhan
(on her 1975 collapse) I had been on a crash diet, and I carried on losing weight afterwards, even though I began eating like mad to counteract it. I`d become stricken with nervous tension which was burning away all my energy.
Karen Carpenter
Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends. It`s...

You know the theory of cell irritability?. If you take an amoeba cell and poke it a thousand times, it will change and then re-form into its original shape. And then, the thousandth time you poke this amoeba, the cell will completely collapse and become n...
Bill Murray
when we supported Solidarity, we were criticized by the Europeans for being naïve. Yet in 1989, when the Berlin Wall was about to collapse, there were very few American officials who believed that history was about to turn.
Daniel Fried
When a place gets crowded enough to require ID`s, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere.
Robert A. Heinlein
We have major pipelines, a major trucking system and rail systems though the county. We can get tornadoes and storms that can cause buildings to collapse. It`s all not about terrorism, though it certainly can happen here,
Tom Powers
We had three fantastic years; you have to pay for those along the line. There will be a period where profits will be under pressure. But our numbers say globally it shouldn`t be a collapse.
Ashu Kakkar
We expected that people were just waiting for the collapse of the Soviet Union, or at least for its retreat, and they were going to be full of initiative in all areas of life - in culture, in economy and in politics.
Andrzej Wajda
This is a cash flow positive company. Right now their customers, advertisers and publishers are having a hard time, and if too many of them collapse it could be a problem, but I think some of these guys [Web companies] are going to figure it out,
Antonio Jeremiah
Third-quarter results were impacted by a downturn in the banana business, where costs have been driven up from the results of the El Nino weather pattern and where prices were driven down late in the third quarter as a result of the collapse of the Russia...
David Murdock
The only hope is that our civilization will collapse at a certain point, as always happens in history. Then, out of barbarity, a renaissance.
Pierre Schaeffer
The more the history of the World War and what led up to it is studied, the more clearly those tragic years become revealed as a vast collapse of civilization.
Al Edwards
The chief task was to stop the arms race before it brought utter disaster. However, after the collapse of communism and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, any rationale for having nuclear weapons disappeared.
Allan Walsh
Socialism is undoubtedly in the throes of a crisis greater than at any time since 1917. The last half of 1989 saw the dramatic collapse of most of the communist party governments of Eastern Europe.
Alice Paul
Particularly at around the age of 70 you reach a stage where you have to be very careful. If, at that point, you abandon the work you have been doing, there is a good chance that you will just collapse and drift.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
Men were only made into "men" with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally "a man" any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse.
Andrew Somers
Larry, I spent probably most of my professional life helping to build Enron Corporation. I don`t think there was anyone that was as shocked by the - by the collapse of the company as I was.
Ali Naimi
If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.
Anton Situmeang
If a jury finds that Andersen is 70 percent at fault [for Enron`s collapse], then theoretically shareholders have given up 70 percent of claims for $300 million, which is nothing,
Charles Parker
I would sign on for projects that were meant to shoot in July, and then they would postponed and they would bleed into the following semester, and then I`d take a semester off, and then the movie would collapse.
