“One of the major changes in attitude that occurred in the world of art as we moved from the nineteenth into the twentieth century was that the twentieth century artist became more involved with personal expression than with celebrating exclusively the values of the society or the church. Along with this change came a broader acceptance of the belief that the artist can invent a reality that is more meaningful than the one that is literally given to the eye. I subscribe enthusiastically to this.” WorldArtRealityEyeArtistValuesBeliefGivenChurchAttitudeCenturyAcceptanceExpressionInvolvedMajorsMovedPhotographerMeaningfulCelebrateTwentieth CenturyMajor ChangePersonal Expression Author:Jerry Uelsmann
“Some crafts have been practiced for centuries. These crafts were created using skills passed from generation to generation, and were motivated by necessity such as baskets and pottery, or artistic expression, such as more baskets and more pottery. Today, there is a much more leisurely attitude toward crafting, and virtually anyone without a job and access to pipe cleaners can join the elite society of crafters.” Has BeensTodayJobsAttitudeGenerationsCenturyExpressionSkillsAccessCraftsArtisticMotivatedElitesHobbiesPipeBasketsCleanersPotteryArtistic ExpressionCrafters Author:Amy Sedaris

“Sin is not only manifested in certain acts that are forbidden by divine command. Sin also appears in attitudes and dispositions and feelings. Lust and hate are sins as well as adultery and murder. And, in the traditional Christian view, despair and chronic boredom - unaccompanied by any vicious act - are serious sins. They are expressions of man's separation from God, as the ultimate good, meaning, and end of human existence.” MenHumansWellsEndsFeelingsChristianCertainHateSinViewsExistenceAttitudeDivineSeriousExpressionDespairUltimateMurderSeparationLustCommandTraditionalBoredomDispositionForbiddenViciousAdulteryHuman Existence Author:Mortimer Adler
“I do think there is an enhanced awareness of insecurity and vulnerability that induces anxiety that creates pressure on teachers and administrators to offer simplistic explanations and to be resistant to expressions of attitudes that can be viewed as unpatriotic, which is further interpreted as applicable to any tendency to challenge the government when it claims to be acting overseas to avoid repetitions of 9/11 or to encroach on domestic freedom to identify suspicious persons and behaviors.” ThinkingPersonsGovernmentChallengesActingAttitudeTeacherAwarenessExpressionOffersBehaviorAnxietyClaimsPressureTendenciesExplanationVulnerabilityInsecurityRepetitionSuspiciousAdministratorsUnpatriotic Author:Richard A.

“Kevin Bacon and I recently worked on a move together, R.I.P.D. Just before we'd begin a scene, when all of us would feel the normal anxiety that actors feel be- fore they start to perform, Kevin would look at me and the other actors with a very serious expression on his face and say: "Remember, everything depends on this!" It would make us all laugh. On the one hand, it's not true of course, but on the other, everything does depend on this, on just this moment and our attitude toward this moment.” FeelsLooksDoeMomentsHandsTogetherRememberFacesMovingCoursesActorsAttitudeLaughingSeriousExpressionDependsSceneNormalAnxietyLook At MeKevinRemembers Everything Author:Jeff Bridges
