Fancy Cancels

Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or cancels:

“We fancy men are individuals; so are pumpkins; but every pumpkin in the field, goes through every point of pumpkin history.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“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)
