Famous quotes containing the words accounts and/or testament:

    The mystical nature of American consumption accounts for its joylessness. We spend a great deal of time in stores, but if we don’t seem to take much pleasure in our buying, it’s because we’re engaged in the acts of sacrifice and self-definition. Abashed in the presence of expensive merchandise, we recognize ourselves ... as supplicants admitted to a shrine.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
    —Bible: New Testament Jesus, in John, 8:32.

    These words are inscribed on the wall of the main lobby at the CIA headquarters, Langley, Virginia.
