Famous quotes containing the words imaginary and/or order:
“History counts its skeletons in round numbers.
A thousand and one remains a thousand,
as though the one had never existed:
an imaginary embryo, an empty cradle,
...
emptiness running down steps toward the garden,
nobody’s place in line.”
—Wislawa Szymborska (b. 1923)
“Today Americans are overcome not by the sense of endless possibility but by the banality of the social order they have erected against it.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
