Famous quotes containing the word capacity:
“We have dreamt of every woman there is, and dreamt too of the miracle that would bring us the pleasure of being a woman, for women have all the qualities—courage, passion, the capacity to love, cunning—whereas all our imagination can do is naively pile up the illusion of courage.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“One would never have guessed that the world had such a capacity for genuine grief. The most we can do is exploit our memories of his excellence.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
