Point Win

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or win:

“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

“Sometimes all you need to do to win clever people over to a principle is to present it in the form of a shocking paradox.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
