Famous quotes containing the words illusion, design and/or products:

    “I hadn’t an illusion in my handbag
    About the people being better there
    Than those I left behind. I thought they weren’t.
    I thought they couldn’t be. And yet they were.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.”
    —John Adams (1735–1826)

    “It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
