Famous quotes containing the words viscount and/or slim:
“Nobody ever did anything very foolish except from some strong principle.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
