“A lot of the counterfeiters out there are very sophisticated. I'd like to see some of the setups they have. To the fan on the street, a lot of the counterfeit tickets are very passable. The general fan is not going to realize it.”
Craig Mattox
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.”
Oscar Wilde
“Boys and girls in America have such a sad time together; sophistication demands that they submit to sex immediately without proper preliminary talk. Not courting talk- real straight talk about souls, for life is holy and every moment is precious.”
Jack Kerouac
“Whenever there is a simple error that most laymen fall for, there is always a slightly more sophisticated version of the same problem that experts fall for”
Amos Tversky
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism. Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
Camille Paglia
“Hip is the sophistication of the wise primitive in a giant jungle.”
Norman Mailer
