Essential Evidence

Famous quotes containing the words essential and/or evidence:

    “Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Analysis is more likely to adjust evidence than to adjust itself.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
