Open Air Museum

Famous quotes containing the words open, air and/or museum:

    A soul that makes virtue its companion is like an over-flowing well, for it is clean and pellucid, sweet and wholesome, open to all, rich, blameless and indestructible.
    Epictetus (c. 50–120)

    I shall, I suppose, always remember how
    The flock of notes those antique negroes blew
    Out of Chicago air into
    A huge remembering pre-electric horn....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    When I go into a museum and see the mummies wrapped in their linen bandages, I see that the lives of men began to need reform as long ago as when they walked the earth. I come out into the streets, and meet men who declare that the time is near at hand for the redemption of the race. But as men lived in Thebes, so do they live in Dunstable today.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
