“The only interesting answers are those which destroy the questions.”
“To be a philosopher is not merely to have ideas; it is to have a way of life.” “Interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon art.” “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” “The writer is always tricking the reader into listening to the voice of another person.” |
