Edward W. Said Quotes

I Have Begun With The Assumption That The Orient Is Not An Inert Fact Of Nature. It Is Not Merely There, Just As The Occident Itself Is Not Just There Either. We Must Take Seriously Vico's Great Observation That Men Make Their Own History, That What They Can Know Is What They Have Made, And Extend It To Geography: As Both Geographical And Cultural Entities - To Say Nothing Of Historical Entities - Such Locales, Regions, Geographical Sectors As "Orient" And "Occident" Are Man-made. Therefore As Much As The West Itself, The Orient Is An Idea That Has A History And A Tradition Of Thought, Imagery, And Vocabulary That Have Given It Reality And Presence In And For The West. The Two Geographical Entities Thus Support And To An Extent Reflect Each Other.
