Order Conditions

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or conditions:

    We refuse praise in order to be praised twice.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
