Visual Proof

Famous quotes containing the words visual and/or proof:

    “The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “War is a beastly business, it is true, but one proof we are human is our ability to learn, even from it, how better to exist.”
    —M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
