Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or images:

    “Dog. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world’s worship.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
