Full Abstraction

Famous quotes containing the words full and/or abstraction:

    Mystics and birds do not carry their food with them.
    Those who have full faith in God are always taken care of.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.

    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)
