Famous quotes containing the word meaning:

    The meaning of the Street in all ways and at all times is the need for sharing life with others and the search for community.
    Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)

    Everywhere one seeks to produce meaning, to make the world signify, to render it visible. We are not, however, in danger of lacking meaning; quite the contrary, we are gorged with meaning and it is killing us.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    The novelist’s—any writer’s—object is to whittle down his meaning to the exactest and finest possible point. What, of course, is fatal is when he does not know what he does mean: he has no point to sharpen.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
