False Face

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or face:

    Approval of what is approved of
    Is as false as a well-kept vow.
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    We live in a time which has created the art of the absurd. It is our art. It contains happenings, Pop art, camp, a theater of the absurd.... Do we have the art because the absurd is the patina of waste...? Or are we face to face with a desperate or most rational effort from the deepest resources of the unconscious of us all to rescue civilization from the pit and plague of its bedding?
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
