Fixed Days

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or days:

    Museums, museums, museums, object-lessons rigged out to illustrate the unsound theories of archaeologists, crazy attempts to co-ordinate and get into a fixed order that which has no fixed order and will not be co-ordinated! It is sickening! Why must all experience be systematized?... A museum is not a first-hand contact: it is an illustrated lecture. And what one wants is the actual vital touch.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The days to come are a watershed.
    You have to improve your portrait of God
    To make it plain.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
