“Art's effect is due to the tension resulting from the clash of the collocation of elements of two (or more) systems of interpretation. This conflict has the function of breaking down automatism of perception and occurs simultaneously on the many levels of a work of art ... All levels may carry meaning.” MayArtTwoPoetryLevelsEffectsConflictElementsPerceptionFunctionDuesTensionInterpretationWorks Of ArtBreaking DownClash Author:Yuri Lotman
“The War of the Roses in England and the Civil War in America were both intestinal conflicts arising out of similar ideas. In the first the clash was between feudalism and the new economic order; in the second, between an agricultural society and a new industrial one. Both led to similar ends; the first to the founding of the English nation, and the second to the founding of the American. Both were strangely interlinked; for it was men of the old military and not of the new economic mind - men, such as Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh - who founded the English colonies in America.” MenMindFirstsIdeasWarEndsAmericaOrderNationsEconomicMilitaryConflictEnglandRoseCivil WarFoundingClashColonyFeudalismEconomic OrderRaleigh Author:J.

“I can hardly believe what these 12 caricatures [about Prophet Muhammad] have caused in the world. We Danes feel like we have been placed in a scene in the wrong movie. But I don't see the fight as a clash of civilizations. Rather, we must focus on avoiding exactly this type of conflict. We have to return to dialogue, to mutual understanding and to an acknowledgement of freedom of opinion.” WorldFeelsBelieveHas BeensI CanFightingUnderstandingOpinionFocusTypeReturnCivilizationSceneConflictDialogueProphetMutualAvoidingMuhammadClashCaricaturesAcknowledgementMutual UnderstandingProphet MuhammadClash Of Civilizations Author:Anders Fogh Rasmussen
“The Soviet Union came apart along ethnic lines. The most important factor in this breakup was the disinclination of Slavic Ukraine to continue under a regime dominated by Slavic Russia. Yugoslavia came apart also, beginning with a brutal clash between Serbia and Croatia, here again 'nations' with only the smallest differences in genealogy; with, indeed, practically a common language. Ethnic conflict does not require great differences; small will do.” DoeImportantLanguageNationsDifferencesLinesCommonConflictUnionsRussiaFactorsBreakupSovietRegimesBrutalSmallestSoviet UnionUkraineClashEthnic ConflictGenealogySerbiaYugoslaviaCommon LanguageCroatia Author:Daniel Patrick Moynihan
“Toleration, holding that every other man has the same right to his opinion and faith that we have to ours; and liberality, holding that as no human being can with certainty say, in the clash and conflict of hostile faiths and creeds, what is truth, or that he is surely in possession of it, so everyone should feel that it is quite possible that another equally honest and sincere with himself, and yet holding the contrary opinion, may himself be in possession of the truth.” MenFeelsShouldHumansMayHuman BeingsOpinionHonestConflictPossessionContraryCertaintySincereCreedsHostileClashTolerationMasonsMasonicLiberality Author:Albert Pike

“Many intellectuals in America and in Europe, they are in the habit of taking sides: who are the bad guys? who are the good guys? They launch a demonstration against the bad guys, sign a petition in favor of the good guys, and going to sleep feeling well about themselves. This is not the case here. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a tragedy; it is a clash between right and right.” FeelingsGuySleepHabitConflictTragedyGoing To SleepClashGood Guy Author:Amos Oz
“Sometimes, recently Israeli-Palestinian conflict is indeed a clash between wrong and wrong. It is not as simple as fascism was. Every decent man had to be against fascism, period. It is not as simple as apartheid or colonialism or racism or misogyny. It is not simple because the Palestinians have no other land. They are absolutely right about this. The Israeli Jews also have no other land and they are absolutely right about this. It is a tragedy of two peoples claiming the same very small country, about the size of New Jersey.” MenCountrySometimesSimpleConflictRacismTragedyJewDecentFascismPalestinianMisogynyIsraeliClashApartheid Author:Amos Oz
