Famous quotes containing the words stave and/or falls:

“Come a stove boat and a stove body when they will, for stave my soul, Jove himself cannot.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Realism, whether it be socialist or not, falls short of reality. It shrinks it, attenuates it, falsifies it; it does not take into account our basic truths and our fundamental obsessions: love, death, astonishment. It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective. Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
