Pure Substance

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or substance:

Am a pure acetylene

Attended by roses,
By kisses, by cherubim,
By whatever these pink things mean.”

“Just as a chemist “isolates” a substance from contaminations that distort his view of its nature and effects, so the work of art purifies significant appearance. It presents abstract themes in their generality, but not reduced to diagrams.”
—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)
