Famous quotes containing the word concept:

—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn’t like jam if it didn’t, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn’t like truth if it wasn’t sticky, if, from time to time, it didn’t ooze blood.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Revolution as an ideal concept always preserves the essential content of the original thought: sudden and lasting betterment.”
