Famous quotes containing the words award, popularity and/or poll:

“A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately presented to us by our senses.”
—Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)

“If Rosa Parks had taken a poll before she sat down in that bus in Montgomery, she’d still be standing.”
