Famous quotes containing the words isolated and/or mass:
“Without the meditative background that is criticism, works become isolated gestures, ahistorical accidents, soon forgotten.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator—the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
