Famous quotes containing the words tornado and/or alley:
“The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“In the mind there is a thin alley called death
and I move through it as
through water.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
