Famous quotes containing the words unusual, types and/or records:

    The sea is very old.
    The sea is the face of Mary,
    without miracles or rage
    or unusual hope,
    grown rough and wrinkled
    with incurable age.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.
    Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)

    The camera relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
