Famous quotes containing the words camera, products and/or association:

    “The camera relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “... white people, like black ones, are victims of a racist society. They are products of their time and place.”
    —Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)

    “They that have grown old in a single state are generally found to be morose, fretful and captious; tenacious of their own practices and maxims; soon offended by contradiction or negligence; and impatient of any association but with those that will watch their nod, and submit themselves to unlimited authority.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
