Total

Famous quotes containing the word total:

    Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term—meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching—there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
    Ansel Adams (1902–1984)

    I only know that a rook
    Ordering its black feathers can so shine
    As to seize me senses, haul
    My eyelids up, and grant

    A brief respite from fear
    Of total neutrality.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
