Susan Sontag Good Quotations

Passion paralyzes good taste.

A good book is an education of the heart.

In good films, there is always a directness that entirely frees us from the itch to interpret.

Of course the movies are going to be the more visible, more high profile, for the simple reason that a lot more money is involved and this is a largely money-oriented society. ... Nevertheless, this is a very good book town, whether it's known to be that or not, and that's why you have something like this.
