Famous quotes containing the words mission, vision and/or statements:

    It is the mission of the twentieth century to elucidate the irrational.
    Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1907–1961)

    Our star was brighter perhaps when it had water in it.
    Now there is no question even of that, but only

    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    There is a certain embarrassment about being a storyteller in these times when stories are considered not quite as satisfying as statements and statements not quite as satisfying as statistics; but in the long run, a people is known, not by its statements or its statistics, but by the stories it tells.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
