Famous quotes containing the words art, literature, journalism and/or philosophy:

    “When truth is nothing but the truth, it’s unnatural, it’s an abstraction that resembles nothing in the real world. In nature there are always so many other irrelevant things mixed up with the essential truth. That’s why art moves you—precisely because it’s unadulterated with all the irrelevancies of real life.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.”
    —Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)

    “In America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs for ever and ever.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “That the world is a divine game and beyond good and evil:Min this the Vedanta philosophy and Heraclitus are my predecessors.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
