Misc. Quotes
(Interesting or pithy quotes from the book)
 
“Step by step, with the aid of questions and explanation, Tortsov led us to the conclusion that there are two kinds of truth and sense of belief in what you are doing. First, there is the one that is created automatically and on the plane of actual fact […] and second, there is the scenic type, which is equally truthful but which originates on the plane of imaginative and artistic fiction.”
