Famous quotes containing the words signs and/or symptoms:

    Mister death who signs papers
    then eats
    telegraphs simply: Shoot them
    then eats
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn’t enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
