Famous quotes containing the words local and/or hero:

    “The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “The hero sees that the event is ancillary: it must follow him.
    ”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
