Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or theories:
“There is a difference between dramatizing your sensibility and your personality. The literary works which we think of as classics did the former. Much modern writing does the latter, and so has an affinity with, say, night-club acts in all their shoddy immediacy.”
—Paul Horgan (b. 1904)
“A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
