Closed Systems

Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or systems:

“One man’s observation is another man’s closed book or flight of fancy.”

“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
