“Lawyers have a way of seeing that sets them apart from the rest of us. In some way this special vision makes them invaluable, and in other ways, repulsive. Lawyers are much more focused on rational, logical, and objective criteria to the exclusion of the emotional, subjective, and sometimes irrational reponses to the world. Moreover, lawyers like to show no emotion, and possess a particular disdain for the emotions that are found in others, which has the quality of making them seem inhuman.” WorldWaySometimesShowsSeemsFoundEmotionQualityVisionSeeingSpecialEmotionalParticularFocusedLawyerObjectivesRationalLogicalIrrationalSubjectiveCriteriaExclusionDisdainInhumanInvaluable Author:Thane Rosenbaum
“It seems to me that dominant cinema seems to require an empathy or a sympathy between the film and the audience which is basically to do with the manipulation of the emotions and it seems to me again -- and this is a very subjective position -- that most cinema seems to trivialise the emotions, sentimentalising or romanticising them.” SeemsFilmEmotionAudiencePositionEmpathyCinemaManipulationDominantSubjective Author:Peter Greenaway

“Prejudice ... is a subjective emotion which expresses itself upon others only because of an inner necessity for release. The object is irrelevant and opportune. The person who feels prejudice is the victim of himself and his own unhappiness and dissatisfaction. Life is not what he wants it to be and it has not been what he wishes it had been.” WantFeelsPersonsLife IsWishEmotionObjectsPrejudiceVictimReleaseUnhappinessIrrelevantSubjectiveDissatisfaction Author:Pearl S.

“I couldn't portray a women in all her natural loveliness.. I haven't the skill. No one has. I must, therefore, create a new sort of beauty, the beauty that appears to me in terms of volume of line, of mass, of weight, and through that beauty interpret my subjective impression. Nature is mere a pretext for decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art. I want to express the absolute, not merely the factitious woman.” WantArtTermNaturalLinesEmotionHavensSkillsMassWeightAbsolutesMereImpressionPlusSentimentsTranslateVolumeCompositionSubjectiveLovelinessPretext Book:Georges Braque Source: Georges Braque
“The arts objectify subjective reality, and subjectify outward experience of nature. Art education is the education of feeling, and a society that neglects it gives itself up to formless emotion. Bad art is corruption of feeling.” GivingArtFeelingsRealityEmotionArt IsCorruptionNeglectSubjectiveArt Education Author:Susanne Katherina Langer
