Human Realism

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or realism:

“To say more than human things with human voice,
That cannot be; to say human things with more
Than human voice, that, also, cannot be;
To speak humanly from the height or from the depth
Of human things, that is acutest speech.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Placing the extraordinary at the center of the ordinary, as realism does, is a great comfort to us stay-at-homes.”
