Famous quotes containing the word conditions:

    “The strong sunlight, the wind from the sea,
    all the conditions of its existence,
    may have flaked off the paint, if ever it was painted,
    and made it homelier than it was.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    “Each victim of suicide gives his act a personal stamp which expresses his temperament, the special conditions in which he is involved, and which, consequently, cannot be explained by the social and general causes of the phenomenon.”
    —Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

    “My dear young friend ... civilization has absolutely no need of nobility or heroism. These things are symptoms of political inefficiency. In a properly organized society like ours, nobody has any opportunities for being noble or heroic. Conditions have got to be thoroughly unstable before the occasion can arise.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
