Full Abstraction

Famous quotes containing the words full and/or abstraction:

“her nose was long and cold,
And her shoes were full of feet.”
—Unknown. In the Night (l. 3–4)

“When truth is nothing but the truth, it’s unnatural, it’s an abstraction that resembles nothing in the real world. In nature there are always so many other irrelevant things mixed up with the essential truth. That’s why art moves you—precisely because it’s unadulterated with all the irrelevancies of real life.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
