Discreet Slave Class

Famous quotes containing the words discreet, slave and/or class:

“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)

““... The slave will never thank his manumitter;
Which often makes the manumitter bitter.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
