Famous quotes containing the words author, visual and/or philosopher:
“That author who draws a character, even though to common view incongruous in its parts, as the flying-squirrel, and, at different periods, as much at variance with itself as the caterpillar is with the butterfly into which it changes, may yet, in so doing, be not false but faithful to facts.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms.”
—Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980)
“Of what use is a philosopher who doesn’t hurt anybody’s feelings?”
—Diogenes of Sinope (c. 410–320 B.C.)
