PHOTO-ART, by VIVA Anderson..
"I love all things, not because they are passionate or sweet-smelling but because, I don't know, because this ocean is yours, and mine: these buttons and wheels and little forgotten treasures, fans upon whose feathers love has scattered its blossoms, glasses, knives and scissors -- all bear the trace of someone's fingers on their handle or surface, the trace of a distant hand lost in the depths of forgetfulness." ~ Pablo Neruda..........
Whilst ironing/not 'that' unironed blue shirt (see photo),I gave thought to
the buttons themselves. How we take them for granted. How we rely on
them. How they are referenced historically, humourously, politically,
and so, here is my Buttons ~ A Tribute... I did two pix,one white-black,the
other, black-white, for those with such preferences.
The quotes are surprisingly diverse, yet, en pointe............Enjoy.
quotes......Courtesy AZ Quotes, found in Google. A great read. Pages and
pages of buttons quotes. Who'd have thought!
"All photography is Pop, and all photographers are crazy... they feel guilty since they don't have to do very much - just push a button." ~ Andy Warhol....
"The Internet, I'm trying to point out, is a kooks' paradise. Anybody with a keyboard and a modem can spread fear, loathing, and just plain asinine ideas among hundreds of thousands of people with the click of a button. Discouraging, but true." ~ David F. Emery....
Buttons are the fossils of the sartorial world, enduring long past the garments they were designed to hold together. ..Martha Stewart,,,,
If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger.
Frank Lloyd Wright,,,,
"You push the button, we do the rest." ~ George Eastman,,,,
"Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man. The biography of the man himself cannot be written." ~ Mark Twain,,,,
"The man upstairs is pushing the buttons, and if your name happens to be on that button, well, thank you." ~ Mario Andretti,,,,
"Ostensibly rigorous and realistic, contemporary conservatism is an ideology of denial. Its symbol is a smile button." ~ Christopher Lasch,,,,
"It's much easier to wear a Chairman Mao button and shake your fists in the air and all that, then to actually read the Communist manifesto and things like that and actually become involved in politics." ~ Lester Bangs,,,,
"What is the life of man! Is it not to shift from side to side? From sorrow to sorrow? To button up one cause of vexation! And unbutton another!" ~ Laurence Sterne....
"Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime." ~ Alfred Hitchcock....
"We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them." ~ Steve Jobs.....
"A man should have two wives: one to love and one to sew on his buttons." ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez.....
"He's a bully. I love bullies. They have such big, shiny red buttons to push." ~ Carrie Vaughn....
"Donald Trump is sitting on the control deck of the starship Enterprise, and he can push a lot of pretty buttons, but those buttons aren't connected to anything. And so nothing is happening." ~ David Brooks....
"What must it be like, I wonder, to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button?" ~ Suzanne Collins....
"I don’t think television will ever be perfected until the viewer can press a button and cause whoever is on the screen’s head to explode." ~ Michael O'Donoghue....
.
"I like to work with people who have a sense of putting a song over, and can sing in tune, and with passion. With technology you can polish a turd, but there's still no button you can press for passion." ~ Tony Visconti....
"What is technology?" Cian pulled his brother inside, pushed the button for the next floor. "It's another god." ~ Nora Roberts

My inspiration, the quote , as per the Description ..." "I love all things, not because they are passionate or sweet-smelling but because, I don't know, because this ocean is yours, and mine: these buttons and wheels and little forgotten treasures, fans upon whose feathers love has scattered its blossoms, glasses, knives and scissors -- all bear the trace of someone's fingers on their handle or surface, the trace of a distant hand lost in the depths of forgetfulness." ~ Pablo Neruda....
