Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or pavement:
“The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“I have often walked down this street before, but the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.”
—Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
