Berger

Famous quotes containing the word berger:

    Is boredom anything less than the sense of one’s faculties slowly dying?
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    Nothing in the nature around us is evil. This needs to be repeated since one of the human ways of talking oneself into inhuman acts is to cite the supposed cruelty of nature.
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    The heart of Paris is like nothing so much as the unending interior of a house. Buildings become furniture, courtyards become carpets and arrases, the streets are like galleries, the boulevards conservatories. It is a house, one or two centuries old, rich, bourgeois, distinguished. The only way of going out, or shutting the door behind you, is to leave the centre.
    —John Berger (b. 1926)
