Famous quotes containing the words states and/or admitted:

    “I believe the citizens of Marion County and the United States want to have judges who have feelings and who are human beings.”
    —Paula Lopossa, U.S. judge. As quoted in the New York Times, p. B9 (May 21, 1993)

    “The mystical nature of American consumption accounts for its joylessness. We spend a great deal of time in stores, but if we don’t seem to take much pleasure in our buying, it’s because we’re engaged in the acts of sacrifice and self-definition. Abashed in the presence of expensive merchandise, we recognize ourselves ... as supplicants admitted to a shrine.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
