Prosaic Industry Quotes to Sell

Photovoltaic producers and distributors wax lyrical in their promotional blurb... are all literary buffs (with the exception of Rox and Ami) also renewable energy nuts.

Take it in the spirit intended you two!

Quotes seen found today whilst perusing online brochures:
'Knowledge is not enough. It has to be applied.' Goethe
"La tecnologia no nos ahorra tiempo, pero si lo reparte de otra manera" Helman Nahr
"We are traditionally comitted to the future" (which leaves one gasping somewhat)
"... smart people doing remarkable things in every corner of the world." (one of my favourites)
"You will see the discreeteness from Cock Rooster" - really!!!
"If solar energy were a weapon - we'd have had it one hundred years ago." - has to be my favourite (from a USA company)


Incidently... whilst on endorsements of a sort - I'm drinking red wine called Ermelinda, which boasts on the label: 'Ermelinda is a tribute to my Mother who founded the business.' Sure enough... it tastes of moth balls

(My favorite quote is the one about smart people doing incredible things.)

"There's a sucker born every minute" - that's not really literary, but it's almost poetic in its apt pithyness.




(A bit more literary: "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." - H. L. Mencken)
