Official Burning Man

Famous quotes containing the words official, burning and/or man:

“We were that generation called “silent,” but we were silent neither, as some thought, because we shared the period’s official optimism nor, as others thought, because we feared its official repression. We were silent because the exhilaration of social action seemed to many of us just one more way of escaping the personal, of masking for a while that dread of the meaningless which was man’s fate.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1935)

“Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“A great man is a new statue in every attitude and action. A beautiful woman is a picture which drives all beholders nobly mad.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
