Famous quotes containing the words associations and/or humans:
“Writing prejudicial, off-putting reviews is a precise exercise in applied black magic. The reviewer can draw free- floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader’s full attention.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“All humans have a heart that can tell right from wrong.”
—Chinese proverb.
Mencius.
