Moving Body Maintain

Famous quotes containing the words moving, body and/or maintain:

    “Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Can it then be doubted, but that God, who is infinitely fine Spirit, and withal intelligent, can make and change all species and kind of body as he pleaseth? But I dare not say, that this is the way by which God Almighty worketh, because it is past my apprehension: yet it serves very well to demonstrate, that the omnipotence of God implieth no contradiction.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    “For three years, out of key with his time,
    He strove to resuscitatethe dead art
    Of poetry; to maintain “the sublime”
    In the old sense.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
