Famous quotes containing the word surface:

    “In Manhattan, every flat surface is a potential stage and every inattentive waiter an unemployed, possibly unemployable, actor.”
    —Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    “A society which allows an abominable event to burgeon from its dungheap and grow on its surface is like a man who lets a fly crawl unheeded across his face or saliva dribble unstemmed from his mouth—either epileptic or dead.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
