Imagined Community

Famous quotes containing the words imagined and/or community:

    War was then no longer this noble and unified outburst of souls in love with glory that he had imagined from Napoleon’s proclamations.
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    Jesus would recommend you to pass the first day of the week rather otherwise than you pass it now, and to seek some other mode of bettering the morals of the community than by constraining each other to look grave on a Sunday, and to consider yourselves more virtuous in proportion to the idleness in which you pass one day in seven.
    Frances Wright (1795–1852)
