Famous quotes containing the words western and/or world:

    “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)

    “This world is half the devil’s and my own,
    Daft with the drug that’s smoking in a girl....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
