Imagined Community

Famous quotes containing the words imagined and/or community:

    I had always imagined that Cliché was a suburb of Paris, until I discovered it to be a street in Oxford.
    Philip Guedalla (1889–1944)

    I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
