In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act

Summary

This quote suggests that in a world filled with lies and deceit, speaking the truth can be seen as a revolutionary act.

It emphasizes the importance of truth-telling as a means to disrupt the status quo and bring about positive change.

The best introduction by far to representation of the human figure in art. The Nude is a beautifully written work of sophisticated connoisseurship that analyzes art in its own terms rather than imposing strident, politicized categories on it. It outlines the major body types, male and female, in Western art and, via a wealth of illustrations, trains the reader's eye to detect and evaluate proportion. This book reveres art

My brother-in-law and now my sister.' 'What barbarians,' Robert Jordan said. How many times had he heard this? How many times had he watched people say it with difficulty?
