Curves Left

Famous quotes containing the words curves and/or left:

“One way to do it might be by making the scenery penetrate the automobile. A polished black sedan was a good subject, especially if parked at the intersection of a tree-bordered street and one of those heavyish spring skies whose bloated gray clouds and amoeba-shaped blotches of blue seem more physical than the reticent elms and effusive pavement. Now break the body of the car into separate curves and panels; then put it together in terms of reflections.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“The only freedom supposed to be left to the masses is that of grazing on the ration of simulacra the system distributes to each individual.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
