Individual World Records

Famous quotes containing the words individual, world and/or records:

    When a village ceases to be a community, it becomes oppressive in its narrow conformity. So one becomes an individual and migrates to the city. There, finding others likeminded, one re- establishes a village community. Nowadays only New Yorkers are yokels.
    Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

    In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it.... Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty—he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world—alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
