Famous quotes containing the words signs and/or symptoms:

    The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb.
    Umberto Eco (b. 1932)

    In retirement, only money and symptoms are consequential.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
