Local Deity

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or deity:

    “Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald’s food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and “retro” clothes in Hong Kong; knowledge is a matter for TV games. It is easy to find a public for eclectic works.”
    —Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)

    “Man disavows, the Deity disowns me.
    Hell might afford my miseries a shelter;
    Therefore hell keeps her everhungry mouths all
    Bolted against me.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
