Famous quotes containing the words growing and/or popularity:
“When you model, the focus is completely on you, and some people really appreciate the attention, especially if they didn’t get it growing up. You’re being drawn; you’re being looked at. There’s a sense of acceptance that comes from that.”
—Alexandra Rheault, U.S. model. As quoted in the New York Times, p. 9 (September 6, 1993)
“A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately presented to us by our senses.”
—Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)
