Replacement Level

Famous quotes containing the words replacement and/or level:

“Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)

“[A writer] should try not to be too far, personally, below the level of his work.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
