Famous quotes containing the words apparent, sidereal and/or time:
“Charity is a cop-out so traditionally female in its apparent self-effacement that there seems resonant comfort in it. Were no longer supposed to serve the imaginations of men who have dominated us. We are to give up ourselves instead to those whose suffering is greater than our own. Looking down is just as distorting as looking up and as dangerous in perpetuating hierarchies.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“Perhaps our eyes are merely a blank film which is taken from us after our deaths to be developed elsewhere and screened as our life story in some infernal cinema or despatched as microfilm into the sidereal void.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“There is no doubt: the study of man is just beginning, at the same time that his end is in sight.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
