Painkiller Redemption

Famous quotes containing the words painkiller and/or redemption:

    Democracy is supposed to give you the feeling of choice, like Painkiller X and Painkiller Y. But they’re both just aspirin.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    Industrial societies turn their citizens into image-junkies; it is the most irresistible form of mental pollution. Poignant longings for beauty, for an end to probing below the surface, for a redemption and celebration of the body of the world. Ultimately, having an experience becomes identical with taking a photograph of it.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
