Natural Enemies

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or enemies:

“The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“Where there is no style, there is in effect no point of view. There is, essentially, no anger, no conviction, no self. Style is opinion, hung washing, the calibre of a bullet, teething beads.... One’s style holds one, thankfully, at bay from the enemies of it but not from the stupid crucifixions by those who must willfully misunderstand it.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
