Famous quotes containing the words local and/or time:
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artists relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artists concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“At about that time I was once sitting at my place and whisperingit was naughty, I knowwith my neighbor. Then you, Herr Professor Rudner, got up from your desk, came calmly down the aisle to me: Did you speak? and slapped me smack in the face. And Ithe fury is inside me to this dayI didnt hit back. Such were the methods of objectivity.”
—Alfred Döblin (18781957)
