Famous quotes containing the words amount and/or borrowed:
“One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless.... They have put into practise the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“Thought can but share
Belief—and the tormented soul,
Changing confession to despair,
Must wear a borrowed robe.”
—Austin Clarke (1896–1974)
