Awake/content

Famous quotes containing the words awake and/or content:

With uneasy faces
That awake and rise
Beneath running skies
From buried places.”

“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)
