...The sublime feeling is not mere pleasure.... : Quote by Jean-François Lyotard

“ ...The sublime feeling is not mere pleasure as taste is – it is a mixture of pleasure and pain... Confronted with objects that are too big according to their magnitude or tooviolent according to their power, the mind experiences its own limitations. ”

Jean-François Lyotard
