“I found that I had become so spinsterish that I was made neurotic not only by my life of domesticity but by the slightest derangement of my room.

“Genitive is a funny word because it means "from," but it also is the gender in European languages for objects: the masculine, feminine, and neuter. So if you have a genitive present, there's room for everybody to fit in. I just did a project in Vienna about rock, paper, scissor; you change the gender and it simply changes the whole thing. Rock is no longer a male. It doesn't function the same way.” IfsWayMeanWholeLanguageRoomsRocksObjectsFitPaperProjectsFunctionMalesGenderFeminineMasculineVienna Author:Lawrence Weiner
“A certain number of people have to live their lives outdoors between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and a certain number of people can only leave their homes between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. So basically, public life has to be lived in these shifts, in order for everyone to fit on the streets because there's just no more room for any more infrastructure, any more highways. So it polarizes the community into day people and night people, and it becomes sort of a metaphor for racism and classism.” PeopleHomeNightCertainOrderCommunityRoomsNumbersStreetsFitRacismMetaphorHighwaysInfrastructurePublic LifeClassism Author:Chuck Palahniuk
“The piano is just a different animal. It's expensive, it's big, it's heavy, and it doesn't fit in the mix easily. Everyone grew up with a piano in their living room, so rocking out on the piano was accessible - it wasn't an upper-class thing. Now pianos have become very much a piece of furniture.” DifferentBigsAnimalRoomsClassPiecesGrewFitGrew UpHeavyPianoExpensiveFurnitureLiving RoomUpper ClassDifferent AnimalsRocking Out Author:Ben Folds

“But Shakespeare knows what the sphinx thinks, if anybody does. His genius is penetrative as cold midwinter entering every room, and making warmth shiver in ague fits. I think Shakespeare never errs in his logical sequence in character. He surprises us, seems unnatural to us, but because we have been superficial observers; while genius will disclose those truths to which we are blind.” IfsThinkingKnowsDoeHas BeensCharacterSeemsRoomsColdGeniusFitBlindSurpriseLogicalWarmthSuperficialEnteringObserversSequenceUnnaturalShiverSphinxMidwinter Book:A Hero and Some Other Folks Source: A Hero and Some Other Folks
