Famous quotes containing the words luis, house and/or studio:

    “Reading ... is an activity subsequent to writing: more resigned, more civil, more intellectual.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    “Perchance the time will come when every house even will have not only its sleeping-rooms, and dining-room, and talking-room or parlor, but its thinking-room also, and the architects will put it into their plans. Let it be furnished and ornamented with whatever conduces to serious and creative thought. I should not object to the holy water, or any other simple symbol, if it were consecrated by the imagination of the worshipers.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Again and again, I struggled though the storm. Once I fainted—and it wasn’t in the script. I was hauled to the studio on a sled, thawed out with hot tea, and then brought back to the blizzard, where the others were waiting. We filmed all day and all night, stopping only to eat standing near a bonfire. We never went inside.... The blizzard never slackened.”
    —Lillian Gish (1896–1993)
