Famous quotes containing the words oriental and/or orientation:
“Behold the difference between the Oriental and the Occidental. The former has nothing to do in this world; the latter is full of activity. The one looks in the sun until his eyes are put out; the other follows him prone in his westward course.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every orientation presupposes a disorientation.”
—Hans Magnus Enzensberger (b. 1929)
