“What I look for when I see a piece of art for the first time is some kind of emotional, intellectual experience, that's a combination of both of those things and is informed by my knowledge and something new that I see the artist doing.” FirstsLooksKindArtArtistPiecesEmotionalIntellectualFirst TimeCombinationSomething New Author:Cheech Marin
“IN PERSIA I SAW that poetry is meant to be set to music & chanted or sung--for one reason alone--because it works.A right combination of image & tune plunges the audience into a hal (something between emotional/aesthetic mood & trance of hyperawareness), outbursts of weeping, fits of dancing--measurable physical response to art. For us the link between poetry & body died with the bardic era--we read under the influence of a cartesian anaesthetic gas.” ArtReasonBodyAudienceSawsInfluenceEmotionalFitDiedDancingResponseMoodErasCombinationGasTunesPoetry IsLinksMeant To BeAestheticWeepingPlungeTranceOutburstPersia Author:Hakim
“My theory is that poems are written because of a state of emotional irritation. It may be present for some time before the poet is conscious of what is tormenting him. The emotional irritation springs, probably, from subconscious combinations of partly forgotten thoughts and feelings. Coming together, like electrical currents in a thunder storm, they produce a poem. ... the poem is written to free the poet from an emotional burden.” MayStatesFeelingsTogetherPoetryWrittenProduceEmotionalPoetTheorySpringConsciousForgottenCurrentsBurdenStormCombinationSubconsciousThunderElectricalThoughts And FeelingsIrritationComing Together Book:Mirror of the Heart: Poems of Sara Teasdale Source: Mirror of the Heart: Poems of Sara Teasdale
“Writing, for me, is a combination of objective and subjective approach. You take an objective approach at times to get you through things, and you take a subjective approach at other times, and that allows you to find an emotional experience for the audience.” WritingAudienceEmotionalApproachObjectivesCombinationSubjective Author:Christopher Nolan
“Antonio Gramsci said that social reformers should have pessimism of the intellect and optimism of the will. This means that one must have the intellectual ability to see how bad things are and the emotional ability to look forward with hope. It's a hard combination to sustain, but if you can do it, you can change the world.” IfsWorldShouldLooksMeanSaidHardSocialCan DoAbilityEmotionalIntellectualShould HaveOptimismIntellectCombinationChanging The WorldBad ThingsPessimismYou Can Do ItReformersAbility To SeeAntonio Author:Andrew Solomon
“I wish that our culture could retain the symbolism and emotional power of traditional religion while combining it with reason and science and using the combination to enhance our humanity rather than impoverishing it by choosing the one side or the other.” ReasonHumanityCultureWishSidesEmotionalTraditionalCombinationSymbolismCombiningEmotional Power Author:Allen W.
