quotations about Xanadu
Xanadu is truly a lavish, visual treat. It's cornball, schmaltzy and could even prove a bit hazardous to diabetics, but it's fun when accepted for what it is.
JERRY HOLDERMAN
"What Is This Thing Called Love? Don't Ask Willie and Phil", Orange Coast Magazine, October 1980
Don't let the spirit's shallows ground you,
set your course for Xanadu.
Give your wildest dreams their head,
storm the fort!
STANLEY MASON
Collected Poems of Stanley Mason
The remarkable thing about Xanadu is that, despite countless setbacks, it refuses to die.
BELINDA BARNET
Memory Machines: The Evolution of Hypertext
Xanadu is what comes before the end of the world.
JOHN RENEHAN
The Valley
Of pure poetry there are two kinds, that which mirrors the beauty of the world in which our bodies are, and that which builds the more mysterious kingdoms where geography ends and fairyland begins, with gods and heroes at war, and the sirens singing still, and Alph going down to the darkness from Xanadu.
LORD DUNSANY
introduction, The Complete Poems of Francis Ledwidge
Perhaps I too have had my Xanadu. Is the story true? For quite a while I had my doubts. There's obviously a sense in which nothing happened, whichever way you look at it.
JOHN ROWE TOWNSEND
The Xanadu Manuscript
Xanadu is distinctive principally because it presents itself as patchwork, because it insists that in fantic space all the joints be left showing.
DANIEL ROSENBERG
"Welcome to the Xanadu Millennium", Cabinet, 2004
Very much like certain dinosaurs of the Jurassic Period, the Xanadu is so large that it does not die all at once, but rather in parts, one part rotting while other parts may still claim perfect health.
