—Arianna Stassinopoulos (b. 1950)
“Every sign is subject to the criteria of ideological evaluation.... The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate with one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value.”
—V.N. (Valintin Nikolaevic)
“Commerce is greedy. Ideology is bloodthirsty.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
