Famous quotes containing the words portable and/or object:
“In the quilts I had found good objects—hospitable, warm, with soft edges yet resistant, with boundaries yet suggesting a continuous safe expanse, a field that could be bundled, a bundle that could be unfurled, portable equipment, light, washable, long-lasting, colorful, versatile, functional and ornamental, private and universal, mine and thine.”
—Radka Donnell-Vogt, U.S. quiltmaker. As quoted in Lives and Works, by Lynn F. Miller and Sally S. Swenson (1981)
“I wish you would not let him plunge into a ôvortex of
Dissipation.ö I do not object to the Thing, but I cannot bear the
expression; it is such thorough novel slang—and so old, that I
dare say Adam met with it in the first novel he opened.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
