“What is the historical function of Parliament in this country? It is to prevent the Government from governing.”

“Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”

“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.”
