Famous quotes containing the words selected, photographs and/or items:

    “The final flat of the hoe’s approval stamp
    Is reserved for the bed of a few selected seed.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “In ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes. Sensations are the items of consciousness—a color, a weight, a texture—that we tend to think of as simple and single. Perceptions are complex affairs that embrace sensation together with other, associated or revived contents of the mind, including emotions.”
    —Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
