Famous quotes containing the words turns and/or sharply:
“Even in the scorched and frozen world of the dead after the
holocaust
The wheel as it turns goes on accreting ornaments.”
—Robert Pinsky (b. 1940)
“The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn’t there something reassuring about it!—that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another’s eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms—nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
