Paz

Famous quotes containing the word paz:

    Social criticism begins with grammar and the re-establishing of meanings.
    —Octavio Paz (b. 1914)

    Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.
    —Octavio Paz (b. 1914)

    Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two.
    —Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
