Awful Truth

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:

“Every work of art should give utterance, or indicate, the awful blind strength and the cruelty of the creative impulse, that is why they must all have what are called errors, both of taste and style.”

Myself must I remake
Till I am Timon and Lear
Or that William Blake
Who beats upon the wall
Till truth obeyed his call....”
