Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “Mine eye hath play’d the painter, and hath steel’d
    Thy beauty’s form in table of my heart:”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The detective novel is the art-for-art’s-sake of our yawning Philistinism, the classic example of a specialized form of art removed from contact with the life it pretends to build on.”
    —V.S. (Victor Sawdon)

    “Industrial societies turn their citizens into image-junkies; it is the most irresistible form of mental pollution. Poignant longings for beauty, for an end to probing below the surface, for a redemption and celebration of the body of the world. Ultimately, having an experience becomes identical with taking a photograph of it.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
