Famous quotes containing the words shining and/or plains:

    “we, in
    that instant, lost,

    as if we stood

    the shining fauna of that fire.”

    “When I say artist I don’t mean in the narrow sense of the word—but the man who is building things—creating molding the earth—whether it be the plains of the west—or the iron ore of Penn. It’s all a big game of construction—some with a brush—some with a shovel—some choose a pen.”
    —Jackson Pollock (1912–1956)
