Famous quotes containing the words literary, significance and/or criticism:

—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The hysterical find too much significance in things. The depressed find too little.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
