Famous quotes containing the words perceive and/or objects:
“Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it “the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.” The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of “Artist.””
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“He who observes etiquette but objects to lying is like someone who dresses fashionably but wears no vest.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
