Famous quotes containing the words total and/or happiness:
“I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the termmeaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etchingthere 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 (19021984)
“Beat! beat! drums!blow! bugles! blow!
Through the windowsthrough doorsburst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation;
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quietno happiness must he have now with his bride;
Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, plough his field or gathering his
grain;
So fierce you whirr and pound, you drumsso shrill you bugles blow.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
