Silent King

Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or king:

In a slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Half asleep as they stalk.”

“Cities are ... distinguished by the catastrophic forms they presuppose and which are a vital part of their essential charm. New York is King Kong, or the blackout, or vertical bombardment: Towering Inferno. Los Angeles is the horizontal fault, California breaking off and sliding into the Pacific: Earthquake.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
