Presentation/audience

Famous quotes containing the words presentation and/or audience:

    He uses his folly like a stalking-horse, and under the presentation of that he shoots his wit.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The problem of the novelist who wishes to write about a man’s encounter with God is how he shall make the experience—which is both natural and supernatural—understandable, and credible, to his reader. In any age this would be a problem, but in our own, it is a well- nigh insurmountable one. Today’s audience is one in which religious feeling has become, if not atrophied, at least vaporous and sentimental.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
