Famous quotes containing the words radical and/or substitution:

    The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one’s people that has not previously been taken into account.
    Alice Walker (b. 1944)

    To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.
    Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)
