Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or images:

    “Dog. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world’s worship.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “It was at a particular moment in the history of my own rages that I saw the Western world conditioned by the images of Marx, Darwin and Freud; and Marx, Darwin and Freud are the three most crashing bores of the Western world. The simplistic popularization of their ideas has thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence.”
    —William Golding (b. 1911)
