Famous quotes containing the words western and/or views:
“Cinema is the culmination of the obsessive, mechanistic male drive in western culture. The movie projector is an Apollonian straightshooter, demonstrating the link between aggression and art. Every pictorial framing is a ritual limitation, a barred precinct.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The universe is wider than our views of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
