Famous quotes containing the words physical, objects and/or features:

    “... people with heavy physical vibrations rule the world.”
    —Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    “Culture relates to objects and is a phenomenon of the world; entertainment relates to people and is a phenomenon of life.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    ““It looks as if
    Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
    And its eyes shut with overeagerness
    To see what people found so interesting
    In one another, and had gone to sleep
    Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
    Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
    Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
