Famous quotes containing the word substitute:

    “The true artist doesn’t substitute immorality for morality. On the contrary, he always substitutes a finer morality for a grosser one.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “To approach a city ... as if it were [an] ... architectural problem ... is to make the mistake of attempting to substitute art for life.... The results ... are neither life nor art. They are taxidermy.”
    —Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)

    “The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.”
    —Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
