“The proper role of humanists is not to bring 'human values' to the attention of technicians otherwise engaged in a purely instrumental approach to their calling, but to demand the restoration of the practical or moral element in callings that have degenerated into techniques.” InspirationalHumansValuesAttentionMoralRolesCallingDemandElementsApproachTechniquePracticalsEngagedRestorationHuman ValuesTechnicians Author:Christopher Lasch
“Rap isn't poetry, not least because it involves music and often other elements that aren't words. But the way poets in English use things like rhyme and meter, and the ways these conventions both do and don't apply to rap we try to lay out the rules for rap, in order to understand the techniques that artists like Jay-Z and Kanye employ.” WayTryingUseArtistOrderPoetElementsLaysRapTechniqueConventionsRhymeMeter Author:Andrew Hoberek

“Although most informed balletomanes would place artistry above technique, artistry without a strong technique is a flaccid, bloodless thing indeed, whereas technique without much artistry can still dazzle us in the manner of the circus or sports arena translated to a higher plane. Though the perfect blend of the two elements is the consummation devoutly to be wished, the real enemy of good ballet is not the slight preponderance of one or the other but the prevalence of pantomime--the turning of dance into second-rate theater.” StillsTwoRealStrongSportsPerfectEnemyHigherElementsTheaterRateTechniquePlanesBalletArenaCircusArtistryDazzleSecond RatePantomime Author:John Simon
