Famous quotes containing the words existing and/or maps:

    “U.S. international and security policy ... has as its primary goal the preservation of what we might call “the Fifth Freedom,” understood crudely but with a fair degree of accuracy as the freedom to rob, to exploit and to dominate, to undertake any course of action to ensure that existing privilege is protected and advanced.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    “The faces of most American women over thirty are relief maps of petulant and bewildered unhappiness.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
