Official Copies

Famous quotes containing the words official and/or copies:

“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

“The only good copies are those which make us see the absurdity of bad originals.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
