Famous quotes containing the words motion, drama and/or picture:
“It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. The fixed is a Mason jar, and we can’t beat it open. ...The fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. It is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and I hate it because at any moment I myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“the sun blew out of sight
like a red picture hat....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
