Laura Allen famous quotes

Massage therapists, and others in the holistic arts ... seem to be a particularly gullible bunch.

Our profession has turned into the snake oil medicine show.

Design should do the same thing in everyday life that art does when encountered: amaze us, scare us or delight us, but certainly open us to new worlds within our daily existence.

How aware were photographers in the past of other visual arts? "No photographer of any distinction at all could approach his work without some awareness of what was going on in other visual media, and for that matter neither the painter nor the draughtsman could ignore photography."

The disenfranchised offspring, along with an entire ageless class of human discards, know only that they are doomed.

These Dionysians obliterate themselves by removing filters, ultimately becoming insensate with sensation. This mode of behaviour originates in the superstitious belief that transcendence is acquired in the precise ratio by which reason is destroyed.
