The tendency of philosophers who know nothing of machinery is to talk of man as a mere mechanism, intending by this to imply that he is without purpose. This shows a lack of understanding of machines as well as of man. ↗

There was nothing to stop him from staying here all night with his family. Nothing at all. ↗
