Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or head:
“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 focused beam
folds all energy in:
the image glares filling all space:
the head falls and
hangs and cannot wake itself.”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
