Mises Yield Surface

Famous quotes containing the words yield and/or surface:

    Thus did he yield me in the shady night
    A wondrous and instructive light,
    Which taught me that under our feet there is,
    As o’er our heads, a place of bliss.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this: in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.
    James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)
