Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or landmarks:

    “The sickly cultural pathos which the whole of France indulges in, that fetishism of the cultural heritage.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.”
