Famous quotes containing the words museum, moving, image and/or york:
“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
...
I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
“In philosophy if you aren’t moving at a snail’s pace you aren’t moving at all.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
“I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term—meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching—there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.”
—Ansel Adams (1902–1984)
“New York is a sucked orange.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
