Famous quotes containing the words western and/or order:
“It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent “celibacy,” by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity “backward.””
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake.”
—George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
