Famous quotes containing the words arcane, literature and/or media:

    “The small sleek one wants to stop,
    docile to the imploring soul of the trashbasket,
    but the young tall curly one
    wants to walk on; the glistening sidewalk
    entices him to arcane happenings.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “This is not “writing” at all. Indeed, I could say that Shakespeare surpasses literature altogether, if I knew what I meant.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)
