Paris Progress

Famous quotes containing the words paris and/or progress:

“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)

“They smote and fell, who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars,
And stayed the march of Motherland!”
—Will Henry Thompson (1848–1918)
