Famous quotes containing the words comic, book and/or art:
“The deeply thoughtful and human consciousness of a Macbeth is not found in comedy. Comic action tends to be as Bergson described it, physical or purblind, instead of highly conscious. Similarly, the great comic actor specializes in the presentation of mental obtuseness.”
—William G. McCollom (b. 1911)
“A book is simply the container of an idea—like a bottle; what is inside the book is what matters.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“The art of letters will come to an end before A.D. 2000.... I shall survive as a curiosity.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
