Famous quotes containing the word expression:
“Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius ... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Politics are usually the executive expression of human immaturity.”
—Vera Brittain (1896–1970)
“Barring that natural expression of villainy which we all have, the man looked honest enough.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
