More In Experience "There are many reasons why Mitt Romney should not become president, but perhaps the most important of all is the narrowness of his experience, perspective and vision."― Charles Schumer "The only time I ever went hunting I remembered it as a grisly experience."― Gloria Swanson "My experience of life is that it’s very fragmented; certain kinds of things happen, and in another place, a different kind of thing occurs. I would like my work to have some vivid indication of those differences."― Jasper Johns
