Breeding/media

Famous quotes containing the words breeding and/or media:

    The breeding we give young people is ordinarily but an additional self-love, by which we make them have a better opinion of themselves.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.
