Famous quotes containing the words daily, express and/or building:

    “We see daily that our lives are terrible and little, without continuity, buyable and salable at any moment, mere blips on a screen, that this is the way we live now. Memory marketed as nostalgia; terror reduced to mere suspense, to melodrama.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “The method of painting is the natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.... I can control the flow of paint: there is no accident, just as there is no beginning and no end.”
    —Jackson Pollock (1912–1956)

    “And of the other things death is a new office building filled with modern furniture,
    A wise thing, but which has no purpose for us.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
