Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or formulation:
“Germany is a queer country: one can’t regard it dispassionately. I alternate between hating it thoroughly, stick, stock and stone, and yearning over it fit to break my heart. I can’t help feeling it a young and adorable country—adolescent—with the faults of adolescence.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.”
—Lindsay Anderson (b. 1923)
