Full Abstraction

Famous quotes containing the words full and/or abstraction:

“A beautiful woman peers out her window, as full of envy as the harridan who peers up at her from the street.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“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)
