Famous quotes containing the words entertaining, day and/or story:

    If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He’s not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he’s really needed.
    David Hockney (b. 1937)

    Once it was, the repose of night,
    Was a place, strong place, in which to sleep.
    It is shaken now. It will burst into flames,
    Either now or tomorrow or the day after that.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    From the beginning, the placement of [Clarence] Thomas on the high court was seen as a political end justifying almost any means. The full story of his confirmation raises questions not only about who lied and why, but, more important, about what happens when politics becomes total war and the truth—and those who tell it—are merely unfortunate sacrifices on the way to winning.
