Famous quotes containing the words word and/or rescue:
“Impossible?... Napoleon said that word is not French.”
—P. J. Wolfson, and John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
“We live in a time which has created the art of the absurd. It is our art. It contains happenings, Pop art, camp, a theater of the absurd.... Do we have the art because the absurd is the patina of waste...? Or are we face to face with a desperate or most rational effort from the deepest resources of the unconscious of us all to rescue civilization from the pit and plague of its bedding?”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
