Famous quotes containing the words photo and/or gallery:
“I was
the girl of the chain letter,
the girl full of talk of coffins and keyholes,
the one of the telephone bills,

—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
