Vicarious Ordinary

Famous quotes containing the words vicarious and/or ordinary:

    Vicarious living is only slightly less impossible than vicarious eating.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Certainly ordinary language has no claim to be the last word, if there is such a thing. It embodies, indeed, something better than the metaphysics of the Stone Age, namely, as was said, the inherited experience and acumen of many generations of men.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
