Discreet Logic

Famous quotes containing the words discreet and/or logic:

“The difference between a photograph and even the most realistic painting—say, one of Courbet’s landscapes—is that in the latter there has been selection, emphasis and some discreet distortion. The painter’s deep instinctive feeling for mass and force has rearranged everything.”
—Gerald Branan (1894–1987)

“You can no more bridle passions with logic than you can justify them in the law courts. Passions are facts and not dogmas.”
