Famous quotes containing the words moment and/or form:

    The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it’s dead for you.
    Robert Wilson (b. 1941)

    Every idea is endowed of itself with immortal life, like a human being. All created form, even that which is created by man, is immortal. For form is independent of matter: molecules do not constitute form.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
