Real Perception

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or perception:

    nor till the poets among us can be “literalists of the imagination”Mabove insolence and triviality and can present
    for inspection, “imaginary gardens with real toads in them,” shall we have
    it.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men, a pledge of sanity, and a protection from those perverse tendencies and gloomy insanities in which fine intellects sometimes lose themselves. A rogue alive to the ludicrous is still convertible. If that sense is lost, his fellow-men can do little for him.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
