Famous quotes containing the words barrel and/or history:

    When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.
    —J.P. (James Patrick)

    The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
