Time Performance

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or performance:

“The task of the artist at any time is uncompromisingly simple—to discover what has not yet been done, and to do it.”
—Craig Raine (b. 1944)

“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
