Independent

Famous quotes containing the word independent:

    Surrealism, n. Pure psychic automatism, by which it is intended to express, whether verbally or in writing, or in any other way, the real process of thought. Thought’s dictation, free from any control by the reason, independent of any aesthetic or moral preoccupation.
    André Breton (1896–1966)

    ‘Ouch’ is not independent of social training. One has only to prick a foreigner to appreciate that it is an English word.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    There is in fact no such thing as art for art’s sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.
    Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
