Famous quotes containing the words common and/or surrogate:

    The last Night that She lived
    It was a Common Night
    Except the Dying—this to Us
    Made Nature different
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    Detachment is the prerogative of an elite; and as the dandy is the nineteenth century’s surrogate for the aristocrat in matters of culture, so Camp is the modern dandyism. Camp is the answer to the problem: how to be a dandy in the age of mass culture.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
