Famous quotes containing the words portable and/or object:
“Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“His eye begets occasion for his wit,
For every object that the one doth catch
The other turns to a mirth-moving jest.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
