Obvious Feature

Famous quotes containing the words obvious and/or feature:

    All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. To be natural is to be obvious, and to be obvious is to be inartistic.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American. We recipients of the boon of liberty have always been ready, when faced with discomfort, to discard any and all first principles of liberty, and, further, to indict those who do not freely join with us in happily arrogating those principles.
    David Mamet (b. 1947)
