Materially Equivalent

Famous quotes containing the words materially and/or equivalent:

“...the power-loving temperament is more dangerous when it either prefers or is forced to operate in what is materially a void. We have everything to dread from the dispossessed.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“I started off rapping for people just like myself, people who were in awe of wealth and flash. It was a conversation between me and them. But now most of those who buy my records are listening in on others’ conversation. They are the aural equivalent of voyeurs, thrilled at this crazy world that has nothing to do with their experience.”
—Ice-T [Tracy Marrow], U.S. rap musician. Observer (London, Oct. 27, 1991)
