Famous quotes containing the words volume and/or work:
“To be thoroughly conversant with a Man’s heart, is to take our final lesson in the iron-clasped volume of despair.”

“In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
