Famous quotes containing the word values:

    “Politics is not an end, but a means. It is not a product, but a process. It is the art of government. Like other values it has its counterfeits. So much emphasis has been placed upon the false that the significance of the true has been obscured and politics has come to convey the meaning of crafty and cunning selfishness, instead of candid and sincere service.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “All fine architectural values are human vales, else not valuable.”
    —Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)

    “Postmodernity is the simultaneity of the destruction of earlier values and their reconstruction. It is renovation within ruination.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
