Western Order

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or order:

“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)

““I have said no
To everything, in order to get at myself.
I have wiped away moonlight like mud....””
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
