“I try to figure out - intellectually, philosophically, psychologically...” — Denis Dutton Quote

“I try to figure out - intellectually, philosophically, psychologically - what the experience of beauty is.”

“My parents were in the book business, my brothers still run the Dutton bookstores in Los Angeles, and I've been interested in editing books and journals all of my life.”

“Dumbing down takes many forms: art that is good for you, museums that flatter you, universities that increase your self-esteem. Culture, after all, is really about you.”

“You can't understand a character intellectually, you have to become one with its emotional core.”

“Games have to be relevant intellectually.”

“Intellectually, now, I believe that it is a complete vanity to say positively there is no God.”
