Famous quotes containing the word form:
“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“one loves only form,
and form only comes
into existence when
the thing is born
born of yourself,”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)
“Driving is a spectacular form of amnesia. Everything is to be discovered, everything to be obliterated.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
