Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or desert:
“The sleeping and the dead
Are but as pictures; ‘tis the eye of childhood
That fears a painted devil.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
