Special Principle

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or principle:

    In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    There is a good principle which created order, light, and man, and an evil principle which created chaos, darkness, and woman.
    Pythagoras (c. 572–497 B.C.)
