Read through the most famous quotes by topic #fascination

Isabella Rossellini

Yet the laboriously sought musical epiphany rarely compares to the unsought, even unwanted tune whose ambush is violent and sudden: the song the cab driver was tuned to, the song rumbling from the speaker wedged against the fire-escape railing, the song tingling from the transistor on the beach blanket. To locate those songs again can become, with age, something like a religious quest, as suggested by the frequent use of the phrase "Holy Grail" to describe hard-to-find tracks. The collector is haunted by the knowledge that somewhere on the planet an intact chunk of his past still exists, uncorrupted by time or circumstance.


Geoffrey O'Brien

Insanity comes in two basic varieties: slow and fast... Viscosity and Velocity are opposites, yet they can look the same.

An observer can't tell if a person is silent and still because inner life has stalled, or because inner life is transfixingly busy.


Susanna Kaysen

I remember Francis Bacon would say that he felt he was giving art what he thought it previously lacked. With me, it's what Yeats called the fascination with what's difficult. I'm only trying to do what I can't do.


Lucian Freud
