Famous quotes containing the words gibson and/or spur:
“They’re semiotic phantoms, bits of deep cultural imagery that have split off and taken on a life of their own, like those Jules Verne airships that those old Kansas farmers were always seeing.... Semiotic ghosts. Fragments of the Mass Dream, whirling past in the wind of my passage.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“How all occasions do inform against me,
And spur my dull revenge!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
