Western Facade

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or facade:

    “One good reason for the popularity of “reductionism” among the philosophical outposts of the Western Establishment is that it can be, and is, used as a device for trying to take the wind, so to speak, out of the sails of Marxism.... In essence reductionism is a kind of anti-Marxist caricature of Marxist determinism. It is what anti-Marxists pretend that Marxist determinism is.”
    —Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)

    “Symbolism erects a facade of respectability to hide the indecency of dreams.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
