Famous quotes containing the words hunter and/or worlds:
“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Between two worlds life hovers like a star,
‘Twixt night and morn, upon the horizon’s verge.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
