Famous quotes containing the words images of, images, east and/or berlin:

    “It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
    —George Steiner (b. 1929)

    “no images of pastoral will,
    But fear, thirst, hunger, and huddled chill.”
    —James Vincent Cunningham (1911–1985)

    “Everybody ought to have a lower East Side in their life.”
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    “The most passionate, consistent, extreme and implacable enemy of the Enlightenment and ... all forms of rationalism ... was Johann Georg Hamann. His influence, direct and indirect, upon the romantic revolt against universalism and scientific method ... was considerable and perhaps crucial.”
    —Isaiah Berlin (b. 1909)
