"Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two." ― Octavio Paz Topic(s): Wisdom More From Octavio Paz "Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history." "Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers… What we call art is a game." "To read a poem is to hear it with our eyes; to hear it is to see it with our ears." More In Wisdom "I put a lot of faith in dreams. I know that big movie roles and opportunities are going to happen."― Krista Allen "Saudi Arabia is a puritanical state that claims a monopoly of wisdom and virtue."― James Buchan "The hours of folly are measured by the clock; but of wisdom, no clock can measure."― William Blake
