Famous quotes containing the words frederick and/or sontag:

    For should your hands drop white and empty
    All the toys of the world would break.
    —John Frederick Nims (b. 1913)

    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)
