Total

Famous quotes containing the word total:

    The effectiveness of our memory banks is determined not by the total number of facts we take in, but the number we wish to reject.
    Jon Wynne-Tyson (b. 1924)

    For youth is a frail thing, not unafraid.
    Firstly inclined to take what it is told.
    Firstly inclined to lean. Greedy to give
    Faith tidy and total. To a total God.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term—meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching—there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
    Ansel Adams (1902–1984)
