Famous quotes containing the word definition:

    Wherein the Beast ravens in its own avidity?”
    —Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)

    “One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.””
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.... The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyperreal.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
