Famous quotes containing the word accumulation:

—Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)
““Under an accumulation of staggerers, no man can be considered a free agent. No man knocks himself down; if his destiny knocks him down, his destiny must pick him up again.””
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.”
