Famous quotes containing the words vital and/or signs:
“This leads us to note down in our psychological chart of the mass-man of today two fundamental traits: the free expansion of his vital desires, and, therefore, of his personality; and his radical ingratitude towards all that has made possible the ease of his existence. These traits together make up the well-known psychology of the spoilt child.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“Comedy distances pain, but leaves signs of it everywhere.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
