Miracle/criticism

Famous quotes containing the words miracle and/or criticism:

“This was your place of birth, this daytime palace,
This miracle of glass....”

“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
