Famous quotes containing the words signs and/or symptoms:

    One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn’t enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
