Desert Roses

Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or roses:

“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)

“Keep not your roses for my dead, cold brow
The way is lonely, let me feel them now.”
—Arabella Smith (1844–1916)
