Famous quotes containing the words full and/or line:
“The full value of this life can only be got by fighting; the violent take it by storm. And if we have accepted everything we have missed somethingwar. This life of ours is a very enjoyable fight, but a very miserable truce.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936)
“What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artists presence makes itself felt above that of the model.... With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the souls style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.”
—Jean Cocteau (18891963)
