|
Nothing is more exhilarating than philistine vulgarity.
Vladimir Nabokov One of the surest signs of the Philistine is his reverence for the superior tastes of those who put him down. Pauline Kael The English people, a lot of them, would not be able to understand a word of spoken Shakespeare. There are people who do and I'm not denying they exist. But it's a far more philistine country than people think. Colin Firth The philistine provides the best definition of art. Anything that makes him rage is first class. Louis Dudek Witticism. A sharp and clever remark, usually quoted and seldom noted; what the Philistine is pleased to call a joke. Ambrose Bierce |
