Pure Identity

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or identity:

    It is because everything is relative
    That we shall never see in that sphere of pure wisdom and
    Entertainment much more than groping shadows of an incomplete
    Former existence so close it burns like the mouth that
    Closes down over all your effort like the moment
    Of death
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Growing has no connection with audience. / Audience has no
    connection with identity. / Identity has no
    connection with a universe. / A universe has no
    connection with human nature.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
