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)
“I am tired of a life of contention, and of being the personal object for the hatred of every man, who hates the present state of things.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
