Aristotle

Aristotle, 384–322 BC, was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist born in the city of Stagira, Chalkidiki, in the north of Classical Greece. Along with Plato, Aristotle is considered the "Father of Western Philosophy", which inherited almost its entire lexicon from his teachings, including problems and methods of inquiry, so influencing almost all forms of knowledge.

Quotes

Martin Zdravkovhas quoted2 years ago
As Tragedy is an imitation of personages better than the ordinary man, we in our way should follow the example of good portrait-painters, who reproduce the distinctive features of a man, and at the same time, without losing the likeness, make him handsomer than he is.
Martin Zdravkovhas quoted2 years ago
The poet being an imitator just like the painter or other maker of likenesses, he must necessarily in all instances represent things in one or other of three aspects, either as they were or are, or as they are said or thought to be or to have been, or as they ought to be.
Martin Zdravkovhas quoted2 years ago
A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing possibility. The story should never be made up of improbable incidents
