Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or images:

    “Dog. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world’s worship.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
