List Of Small Objects Quotes

Imagination Magnifies Small Objects With Fantastic Exaggeration Until They Fill Our Soul, And With Bold Insolence Cuts Down Great Things To Its Own Size, As When Speaking Of God.

Many Painters Had A Clear Idea Of What Fractals Are. Take A French Classic Painter Named Poussin. Now, He Painted Beautiful Landscapes, Completely Artificial Ones, Imaginary Landscapes. And How Did He Choose Them? Well, He Had The Balance Of Trees, Of Lawns, Of Houses In The Distance. He Had A Balance Of Small Objects, Big Objects, Big Trees In Front And His Balance Of Objects At Every Scale Is What Gives To Poussin A Special Feeling.

There Was A Feeling, Not Sudden, But Complete, As Though I Had Been Given A Small Object To Hold Unseen In My Hands.

Fiercely To Cherish, Softly To Guard. The Words Spoke Themselves And Disappeared Into The Groined Shadows Of The Roof.
