Famous quotes containing the words lamp, circuit and/or symbols:

    “Aladdin’s lamp is mine.”
    —Ira Gershwin (1896–1983)

    “each new victim treads unfalteringly
    The never altered circuit of his fate,
    Bringing twelve peers as witness
    Both to his starry rise and starry fall.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “My image is a statement of the symbols of the harsh, impersonal products and brash materialistic objects on which America is built today. It is a projection of everything that can be bought and sold, the practical but impermanent symbols that sustain us.”
    —Andy Warhol (1928–1987)
