“The recipe for creating anything is really quite simple. Take good or bad feelings (meaning positive or negative vibrations), bake with varying degrees of emotion to increase magnetism, and here comes what we've attracted, like it or not. What we have focused on, and how we have vibrated about it, is what we have gotten... from birth.” FeelingsSpiritualSpiritualitySimpleEmotionBirthDegreesCreatingNegativeIncreaseFocusedRecipesVibrationsMagnetism Book:Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings Source: Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings

“Part of God's work in his people is synchronizing the heart and the mind thus providing freedom from the deceit of emotion-based beliefs. Emotions are changing while truth is absolute.

“Photography is a medium of formidable contradictions. It is both ridiculously easy and almost impossibly difficult. It is easy because its technical rudiments can readily be mastered by anyonwith a few simple instructions. It is difficult because, while while the artist working in any other medium begins with a blank surface and gradually brings his conception into being, the photographer is the only imagemaker who begins with the picture completed. His emotions, his knowledge, and his native talent are brought into focus and fixed beyond recall the moment the shutter of his camera has closed.” MomentsArtistEasyDifficultSimpleEmotionFocusTalentPhotographyCamerasPhotographerSurfaceMediumsFixedNativeContradictionConceptionInstructionRecallsBlankFormidableShutters Author:Edward Steichen
“Hemingway, damn his soul, makes everything he writes terrifically exciting (and incidentally makes all us second-raters seem positively adolescent) by the seemingly simple expedient of the iceberg principle - three-fourths of the substance under the surface.

“The hardest thing about being a guy is that women don't accept that you really are just a simple, pathetic, labrador retriever-like creature. That we live in a world were women actually expect you to think thoughtful thoughts, and have real emotions, which we don't have.

“In ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes. Sensations are the items of consciousness--a color, a weight, a texture--that we tend to think of as simple and single. Perceptions are complex affairs that embrace sensation together with other, associated or revived contents of the mind, including emotions.” ThinkingMindTogetherUsedSimpleEmotionConsciousnessColorSpeechPerceptionOrdinaryWeightEmbraceComplexesIncludingAffairSensationsItemsTexturePsychologist Author:Jacques Barzun

“Someone with a fresh mind, one not conditioned by upbringing and environment, would doubtless look at science and the powerful reductionism that it inspires as overwhelmingly the better mode of understanding the world, and would doubtless scorn religion as sentimental wishful thinking. Would not that same uncluttered mind also see the attempts to reconcile science and religion by disparaging the reduction of the complex to the simple as attempts guided by muddle-headed sentiment and intellectually dishonest emotion?” ThinkingWorldMindLooksUnderstandingSimplePowerfulEmotionEnvironmentInspireComplexesSentimentsSentimentalScience And ReligionScornUpbringingReductionReconcileWishful ThinkingMuddleReductionismDisparagingUnderstanding The World Author:Peter Atkins
“The dance is the most universal of the arts, since, as Goethe justly said, it could destroy all the fine arts. It is an expression of all the emotions of the spirit, from the lowest to the highest. It accompanies and stimulates all the processes of life, from hunting and farming to war and fertility, from love to death. It enables, in turn other arts to come into being: music, song, drama. Despite all their riches, the dance is no formless complex, but a simple unity.” ArtSaidWarSpiritSongTurnsProcessSimpleEmotionExpressionFineDramaHighestUniversalUnityComplexesRichesDespiteHuntingLowestFarmingFine ArtsAccompanyFertilityProcess Of Life Author:Gerard van der Leeuw

“The way that I write songs is pretty simple. I hear music first, much like you would when you're scoring a film.
