Impact Speed

Famous quotes containing the words impact and/or speed:

    One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.
    Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)

    Life is too short to waste
    In critic peep or cynic bark,
    Quarrel or reprimand:
    ‘Twill soon be dark;
    Up, heed thine own aim, and
    God speed the mark!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
