Held Fixed

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or fixed:

“There was silence deep as death;
And the boldest held his breath
For a time.”
—Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)

“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)
