Famous quotes containing the words test, operations and/or started:
“If a test of civilization be sought, none can be so sure as the condition of that half of society over which the other half has power.”

“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“I can’t get started with you.”
—Ira Gershwin (1896–1983)
