“I feel that all you can do is give it your absolute best with whatever gifts the universe has given you. And if you make it in some way that other people can recognize, that's fine. But even if you don't quote-unquote make it, you're fine, if you've given it your whole heart and soul. You're totally in sync with your purpose and with the universe. And that's fine.” PeopleIfsWayGivingFeelsHeartSoulWholePurposeUniverseGivenCan DoFineAbsolutesHeart And SoulSync Author:Alice Walker
“The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.” IfsNeedsHumansKindArtSpiritCreativityObjectsFineExerciseUnderstoodArt IsConcernAbsolutesProductionsCraftsDivisionRequirementsFine ArtsRepercussionsHuman NeedsIndirectCraftsman Author:Jacques Maritain
“All of a sudden I understand why I like Aliki Barnstones poems so much. They remind me of the one she has studied most - shall we call her her master - Emily Dickinson. Not in the forms, not, as such, in the music, and not in the references; but in that weird intimacy, that eerie closeness, that absolute confession of soul.... In Barnstone, too, the two worlds are intensely present, and the voice moves back and forth between them. She has the rare art of distance and closeness. It gives her her fine music, her wisdom, her form. She is a fine poet.” WorldGivingArtTwoSoulMovingFormVoicePoetMastersFineAbsolutesDistanceIntimacyConfessionBack And ForthClosenessEmilyTwo WorldsEerie Author:Gerald Stern

“If neuroscientific research shows that those mechanisms only contain comparative information about colour differences, and have 'thrown away' more fine-grained information about the absolute colours of single surfaces, then that would support my position, in a way that just introspecting our colour experiences can't.” IfsWayShowsDifferencesSupportInformationPositionFineResearchAbsolutesSurfaceColourThrownMechanismScientific Research Author:David Papineau
