Intensity Ratio

Famous quotes containing the words intensity and/or ratio:

“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature.

It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

“A magazine or a newspaper is a shop. Each is an experiment and represents a new focus, a new ratio between commerce and intellect.”
