Real Irreducible Representation

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or irreducible:

    Unbreachable the fort
    Of the long-batter’d world uplifts its wall;
    And strange and vain the earthly turmoil grows,
    And near and real the charm of thy repose,
    And night as welcome as a friend would fall.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    If an irreducible distinction between theatre and cinema does exist, it may be this: Theatre is confined to a logical or continuous use of space. Cinema ... has access to an alogical or discontinuous use of space.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
