Famous quotes containing the words outer and/or root:
“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)
“The love of money is the root of all evil.”
—Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Timothy, 6:10.
