Famous quotes containing the words gibson and/or played:
“They’re semiotic phantoms, bits of deep cultural imagery that have split off and taken on a life of their own, like those Jules Verne airships that those old Kansas farmers were always seeing.... Semiotic ghosts. Fragments of the Mass Dream, whirling past in the wind of my passage.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“They played the eloquent tum-tum,
And lived on scalps served up in rum—
The only sauce they knew.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
