Unique Effect

Famous quotes containing the words unique and/or effect:

    —Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)

    “In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded.... He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
