Patient Presents

Famous quotes containing the words patient and/or presents:

    Here the crow starves, here the patient stag
    Breeds for the rifle.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Realism, whether it be socialist or not, falls short of reality. It shrinks it, attenuates it, falsifies it; it does not take into account our basic truths and our fundamental obsessions: love, death, astonishment. It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective. Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination.
    Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
