Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or transit:

    “A society which allows an abominable event to burgeon from its dungheap and grow on its surface is like a man who lets a fly crawl unheeded across his face or saliva dribble unstemmed from his mouth—either epileptic or dead.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
    —William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
