Desert Storm

Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or storm:

“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)

“Once more the storm is howling, and half hid
Under this cradle-hood and coverlid
My child sleeps on.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
