Famous quotes containing the words address and/or space:

    There’s nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.
    Carson McCullers (1917–1967)

    The peculiarity of sculpture is that it creates a three-dimensional object in space. Painting may strive to give on a two-dimensional plane, the illusion of space, but it is space itself as a perceived quantity that becomes the peculiar concern of the sculptor. We may say that for the painter space is a luxury; for the sculptor it is a necessity.
    Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
