Famous quotes containing the words important and/or events:
“Once more I can climb about and remind you that a woman in this epoch does the important literary thinking.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“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)
