Western Dreamer

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or dreamer:

    “Democracy is the menopause of Western society, the Grand Climacteric of the body social. Fascism is its middle-aged lust.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “Dream is not a revelation. If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough to fit thoughts together. Dream—a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows—is essentially poetry.”
    —Michel Leiris (1901–1990)
