Presents Writers

Famous quotes containing the words presents and/or writers:

“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)

“Painters of paintings, writers of books, never could tell the half.”
—Lorenz Hart (1895–1943)
