Western World

Famous quotes containing the words western world, western and/or world:

    trying to live in the terrible western world

    here where to love at all’s to be a politician, as to love a poem
    is pretentious,
    Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it—just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
