—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“May my application so close

—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“For true poetry, complete poetry, consists in the harmony of contraries. Hence, it is time to say aloud—and it is here above all that exceptions prove the rule—that everything that exists in nature exists in art.”
