Impression/law

Famous quotes containing the words impression and/or law:

“The places we have known do not only belong to the world of space in which we situate them for the sake of simplicity. They were but a thin slice between contiguous impression which formed our lives back then; the memory of a certain image is but the regret of a certain instant; and the houses, the roads, the avenues are fleeting, alas! as the years.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“The times have changed. Why do you make a fuss
For privilege when there’s no law of form?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
