Pose Quotations
But you know in the contemporary art world, you pose a very interesting conundrum. All sorts of people collect very contemporary art, yet when it comes to the music which is analogous to that sort of art, they are not interested, or perhaps even hostile. Michael T.

This can help to answer a range of similar issues likely to arise later. Donald Rumsfeld My approach to my subjects was very simple. I never had them pose, we just talked about everything in the world. Jo Davidson There is no doubt that environmentally related diseases will continue to pose problems in the future. Samuel Wilson So I ask the nuclear powers to abandon the out-of-date thinking of the Cold War period and take a fresh look. Above all, I appeal to them to bear in mind the long-term threat that nuclear weapons pose to humankind and to begin action towards their elimination. Joseph Rotblat |
