Famous quotes containing the words village and/or pictures:
“There were those young men,
those village lands
and that youthfulness of mine.
People tell it
like a tale
that I must listen to.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“I have no other pictures of the world apart from those which express evanescence, and callousness, vanity and anger, emptiness, or hideous useless hate. Everything has merely confirmed what I had seen and understood in my childhood: futile and sordid fits of rage, cries suddenly blanketed by the silence, shadows swallowed up for ever by the night.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
