Optical Mark Sense

Famous quotes containing the words optical, mark and/or sense:

“People who have realized that this is a dream imagine that it is easy to wake up, and are angry with those who continue sleeping, not considering that the whole world that environs them does not permit them to wake.

—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

“The things that were coming to be talked about
Have come and gone and are still remembered
As being recent. There is a grain of curiosity
At the base of some new thing, that unrolls
Its question mark like a new wave on the shore.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“A man should give us a sense of mass.”
