Famous quotes containing the word construct:
“The difference between style and taste is never easy to define, but style tends to be centered on the social, and taste upon the individual. Style then works along axes of similarity to identify group membership, to relate to the social order; taste works within style to differentiate and construct the individual. Style speaks about social factors such as class, age, and other more flexible, less definable social formations; taste talks of the individual inflection of the social.”
—John Fiske (b. 1939)
“We are trying to construct a more inclusive society.... We are going to make a country in which no one is left out.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“And it has to find what will suffice. It has
To construct a new stage.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
