Lost Western Final

Famous quotes containing the words lost, western and/or final:

    I got lost but look what I found.
    Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    For twenty-five centuries, Western knowledge has tried to look upon the world. It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.
    Jacques Attali (b. 1943)

    After the final no there comes a yes
    And on that yes the future world depends.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
