Famous quotes containing the words shape and/or form:
“Man is not merely the sum of his masks. Behind the shifting face of personality is a hard nugget of self, a genetic gift.... The self is malleable but elastic, snapping back to its original shape like a rubber band. Mental illness is no myth, as some have claimed. It is a disturbance in our sense of possession of a stable inner self that survives its personae.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“one loves only form,
and form only comes
into existence when
the thing is born
born of yourself,”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)
