The Door in the Wall
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
"Most men and women lead lives at the worst so painful, at the best so monotonous, poor and limited that the urge to escape, the longing to transcend themselves if only for a few moments, is and has always been one of the principal appetites of the soul. Art and religion, carnivals and saturnalia, dancing and listening to oratory—all these have served, in H.G. Wells’s phrase, as Doors in the Wall".--The Doors of Perception (1954) by Aldous Huxley |
