Famous quotes containing the words tales, perilous and/or realm:
“A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The very form, the very scent,
not heavy, not sensuous,
but perilous perilous
of orchids, piled in a great sheath.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Politics has been called the “art of the possible,” and it actually is a realm akin to art insofar as, like art, it occupies a creatively mediating position between spirit and life, the idea and reality.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
