Famous quotes containing the words guru, singh and/or university:
“One does not become a guru by accident.”
—James Fenton (b. 1949)
“An ill-trained doctor is a threat to life, an ill-trained priest a threat to faith.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
