Famous quotes containing the words james and/or pollock:
“If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Bums are the well-to-do of this day. They didn’t have as far to fall.”
—Jackson Pollock (1912–1956)
