Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or wall:
“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“But I would cry,
rooted into the wall that
was once my mother,
if I could remember how
and if I had the tears.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
