“None of the editors I've worked with have ever asked me to pull my punches. They've never asked me to give them anything other than my own interpretation of events.” GivingMy OwnEventsPhotographyInterpretationEditors Author:James Nachtwey
“Science fiction that's just about people wandering around in space ships shooting each other with ray guns is very dull. I like it when it enables you to do fairly radical reinterpretations of human experience, just to show all the different interpretations that can be put on apparently fairly simple and commonplace events. That I find fun.” PeopleHumansDifferentShowsFunSimpleSpaceFictionEventsGunScience FictionShipsWanderRadicalShootingDullInterpretationRaysHuman ExperienceCommonplaceWandering AroundDifferent InterpretationsReinterpretation Author:Douglas Adams
“There are for man only two principles available for a mental grasp of reality, namely, those of teleology and causality. What cannot be brought under either of these categories is absolutely hidden to the human mind. An event not open to an interpretation by one of these two principles is for man inconceivable and mysterious. Change can be conceived as the outcome either of the operation of mechanistic causality or of purposeful behavior; for the human mind there is no third way available.” MenWayMindHumansTwoReasonRealityTruthReligionPrinciplesKnowledgeLearningEventsBehaviorThirdsAvailableMysteriousOperationsOutcomesInterpretationHuman MindCategoriesExperimentationCausality Author:Ludwig von Mises

“Babies learn most of what they know from interactions with their parents, but not of the formal, instructional variety. Babies learn from spontaneous, everyday events--the mailman at the door with a package to open...all of which need adult interpretation. They are real events of interest and concern to babies and young children....By contrast, infant education is artificial and out of context.” KnowsNeedsChildrenRealYoungParentInterestEducationDoorsEventsBabyAdultsConcernEverydayVarietyInterpretationContrastArtificialInteractionFormalSpontaneousInfantPackagesYoung ChildrenOf ContextMailman Author:Sandra Scarr
“Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.” KnowsIdeasDifferentScienceOrderUnderstandingAnswersEventsConcernFunctionIncreasePhilosophicalReportsInterpretationImplicationsFactualPhilosophical Questions Author:Susanne Katherina Langer
“The economic interpretation of history does not necessarily mean that all events are determined solely by economic forces. It simply means that economic facts are the ever recurring decisive forces, the chief points in the process of history.” MeanDoeFactsForceProcessHistoryEconomicEventsDeterminedChiefsInterpretationRecurring Author:Eduard Bernstein
“In industrialized warfare, where the representation of events outstripped the presentation of facts, the image was starting to gain sway over the object, time over space. Soon a conflict of strategic and political interpretation would ensue, with radio and then radar completing the picture.” FactsPoliticalSpaceEventsObjectsConflictGainsStartingRadioInterpretationWarfareRepresentationStrategicPresentationRadarCompleting Author:Paul Virilio

“Writing two stories [in the Thorn and the Blossom] about the same set of events that were complete stories in themselves, but also added up to a larger story. As I was writing them, I kept going back and forth, because something would happen in one story that would have to be reflected in the other story. And yet the same event would also have to be perceived in different ways by Brendan and Evelyn, because they are different people with their own interpretations.” PeopleWayWritingTwoDifferentStoriesHappensEventsDifferent WaysInterpretationDifferent PeoplesBack And Forth Author:Theodora Goss
