Squash Complex

Famous quotes containing the words squash and/or complex:

    “I am filling the room
    with the words from my pen.
    Words leak out of it like a miscarriage.
    I am zinging words out into the air
    and they come back like squash balls.
    Yet there is silence.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “All propaganda or popularization involves a putting of the complex into the simple, but such a move is instantly deconstructive. For if the complex can be put into the simple, then it cannot be as complex as it seemed in the first place; and if the simple can be an adequate medium of such complexity, then it cannot after all be as simple as all that.”
    —Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
