Represents South Jordan

Famous quotes containing the words represents, south and/or jordan:

    Western man represents himself, on the political or psychological stage, in a spectacular world-theater. Our personality is innately cinematic, light-charged projections flickering on the screen of Western consciousness.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    Returned this day, the south wind searches,
    And finds young pines and budding birches;
    But finds not the budding man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    All of Western tradition, from the late bloom of the British Empire right through the early doom of Vietnam, dictates that you do something spectacular and irreversible whenever you find yourself in or whenever you impose yourself upon a wholly unfamiliar situation belonging to somebody else. Frequently it’s your soul or your honor or your manhood, or democracy itself, at stake.
    —June Jordan (b. 1939)
