Famous quotes containing the words double and/or prism:

    Art has a double face, of expression and illusion, just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth.

    Neither can I do anything to please critics belonging to the good old school of “projected biography,” who examine an author’s work, which they do not understand, through the prism of his life, which they do not know.
