Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or reference:

    “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)

    “If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.”
    —Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
