Famous quotes containing the words state, university and/or twin:
“I was never lost, but I was bewildered once for three days.”
—Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“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)
“That Dali is really Norman Rockwell’s twin brother kidnapped by gypsies in babyhood.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
