Happy Pentecost Quotes
-“An attempt to wrest from God the prerogatives of absolute freedom and infinity leads to the inversion of Pentecost and what is in effect a new Babel. ‘Postmodernism’ represents that Babel perfectly, because when each speaks a language unrelated to that of the other – when language is not the basis of the communication that shapes our being – the only outcome can be fragmentation. In that sense, postmodernism is modernity come home to roost.”
