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)

    Life’s so ordinary that literature has to deal with the exceptional. Exceptional talent, power, social position, wealth.... Drama begins where there’s freedom of choice. And freedom of choice begins when social or psychological conditions are exceptional. That’s why the inhabitants of imaginative literature have always been recruited from the pages of Who’s Who.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
