Genuine Imitation Life

Famous quotes containing the words genuine, imitation and/or life:

    Every genuine boy is a rebel and an anarch. If he were allowed to develop according to his own instincts, his own inclinations, society would undergo such a radical transformation as to make the adult revolutionary cower and cringe.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    It is not necessary that every time he rises he should give his famous imitation of a semi-house-trained polecat.
    Michael Foot (b. 1913)

    Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
