Writing Systems

Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or systems:

“When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)

“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
