Famous quotes containing the words ism, chicago and/or gallery:

    Grandpa: Penny, why don’t you write a play about ism-mania?
    Penny: Ism-mania?
    Grandpa: Yeah, sure. You know, communism, fascism, voodooism. Everybody’s got an ism these days.
    Penny: It sounds like an itch or something.
    Grandpa: It’s just as catching. When things go a little bad these days, you go out and get yourself an ism and you’re in business.
    Robert Riskin (1897–1955)

    Ethnic life in the United States has become a sort of contest like baseball in which the blacks are always the Chicago Cubs.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
