Subtle Mind

Famous quotes containing the words subtle and/or mind:

    Any man which an idea, however subtle and unexpected it may be, finds lacking, is not a writer. The inexpressible does not exist.
    Théophile Gautier (1811–1872)

    The books one reads in childhood, and perhaps most of all the bad and good bad books, create in one’s mind a sort of false map of the world, a series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest of life, and which in some cases can survive a visit to the real countries which they are supposed to represent.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
