Famous quotes containing the words dwarf and/or history:

“When I lie down to love,
old dwarf heart shakes her head.
Like an imbecile she was born old.”

“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
