“Painting, by its nature, cannot provide an object of simultaneous collective reception... as film is able to do today... And while efforts have been made to present paintings to the masses in galleries and salons, this mode of reception gives the masses no means of organizing and regulating their response. Thus, the same public which reacts progressively to a slapstick comedy inevitably displays a backward attitude toward Surrealism.” GivingMeanHas BeensMadeTodayAbleFilmEffortAttitudeComedyObjectsPaintingMassResponseCollectivesDisplayGallerySurrealismReceptionSimultaneousSalonsSlapstick Author:Walter Benjamin
“Tragically, some people are genetically more susceptible than others to agripoisons and industrial pollutants. Genetic engineering to correct these medical problems is a narrow (reductionistic) and instrumental (mechanistic) response to a problem that is fundamentally conceptual: namely, our attitude toward life and our mistreatment of the Earth, plants, and animals-and ourselves in the process.” PeopleProblemEarthProcessAnimalAttitudePlantResponseEnvironmentalMedicalEngineeringPollutionSusceptiblePlants And AnimalsGenetic EngineeringMistreatmentMedical Problems Author:Michael Fox
“I'm happy that my films were discovered by chance by foreign film festivals. That makes me realise more that there is a world outside Japan too. For me, it's an occasion to meet many people and to experience directly the response of international audiences to my films. But for me as a director, my attitude towards making films hasn't changed with the fame. I feel it's not good to change as a person anyway” PeopleWorldFeelsPersonsFilmChanceAttitudeAudienceChangedFameDirectorsResponseInternationalOccasionsJapanRealisingFestivalsMy AttitudeFilm Festivals Author:Takashi Miike
“When we read a literary work (or, in some instances, listen to music) our imagination is stimulated, we feel various emotions, and we arrive at new judgments. These attitudes are brought into relation with many others, including our standing tendencies to think and feel in particular ways, and we try to fit our psychological capacities and responses together.” ThinkingWayFeelsTryingTogetherImaginationEmotionAttitudeParticularFitJudgmentCapacityStandingRelationResponseIncludingVariousTendenciesPsychologicalInstanceListening To MusicLiterary Works Author:Philip Kitcher

“In leading-edge companies like Google and Apple, workers are given much freedom and opportunity to play. They know that's an important component of creating new and better products. I believe that at whatever level of work, cashier at a supermarket, janitor at an airport, aide in a cubicle, the addition of a playful attitude makes the job better and the work more enjoyable. A cashier or janitor who smiles and is friendly gets a better response than a surly one.” BelieveImportantOpportunityI BelieveAttitudeResponseFriendlyGoogleEnjoyableJanitor Author:David Elkind
