Famous quotes containing the words front and/or wall:
“Let him front the object of his worst apprehension, and his stoutness will commonly make his fear groundless.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
