Famous quotes containing the words outer and/or coat:

    “The Dada object reflected an ironic posture before the consecrated forms of art. The surrealist object differs significantly in this respect. It stands for a mysterious relationship with the outer world established by man’s sensibility in a way that involves concrete forms in projecting the artist’s inner model.”
    —J.H. Matthews. “Object Lessons,” The Imagery of Surrealism, Syracuse University Press (1977)

    “An aged man is but a paltry thing,
    A tattered coat upon a stick,”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
