Direct

Famous quotes containing the word direct:

    Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us.
    Guy Debord (b. 1931)

    He had robbed the body of its taint, the world’s taunts of their sting; he had shown her the holiness of direct desire.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Traditionally in American society, men have been trained for both competition and teamwork through sports, while women have been reared to merge their welfare with that of the family, with fewer opportunities for either independence or other team identifications, and fewer challenges to direct competition. In effect, women have been circumscribed within that unit where the benefit of one is most easily believed to be the benefit of all.
    Mary Catherine Bateson (b. 1939)
