Famous quotes containing the words universe and/or mass:
“Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.”

“They’re semiotic phantoms, bits of deep cultural imagery that have split off and taken on a life of their own, like those Jules Verne airships that those old Kansas farmers were always seeing.... Semiotic ghosts. Fragments of the Mass Dream, whirling past in the wind of my passage.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
