Famous quotes containing the words sin, cities and/or world:

    Confusion of sign and object is original sin coeval with the word.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    ... there is no way of measuring the damage to a society when a whole texture of humanity is kept from realizing its own power, when the woman architect who might have reinvented our cities sits barely literate in a semilegal sweatshop on the Texas- Mexican border, when women who should be founding colleges must work their entire lives as domestics ...
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one’s self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
