Famous quotes containing the words states and/or admitted:

    “Life is a series of sensations connected to different states of consciousness.”
    —Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

    “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)
