“I suppose I envy painters because they can meditate on form and structure, on color and light, and not concern themselves with human torment and chaos. It is restful even to imagine expression without words.” HumansLightFormImagineColorExpressionConcernStructureChaosEnvyPainterTormentRestful Book:Journal of a Solitude Source: Journal of a Solitude
“While a great many other ideas and measures are of prime importance for the good life of the community, that which concerns its architectural expression is the notion of the community as limited in numbers, and in area... To express these relations clearly, to embody them in buildings and roads and gardens in which each individual structure will be subordinated to the whole - this is the end of community planning.” IdeasEndsWholeIndividualCommunityNumbersBuildingExpressionAreasConcernGardenImportanceRelationStructureNotionArchitecturePlanningGreat MenPrimeGood Life Author:Lewis Mumford
“Every painter must traverse for himself that distance from Paris to Aix (where Paul Cézanne worked a lot, fh) or from Venice to Toledo (where El Greco painted a lot, fh). Expression is for one knowing its own pivot. Every expressor relates solely to himself - that is the concern of the individualist.” KnowingExpressionConcernDistancePainterRelateParisVeniceTraverseToledo Author:Marsden Hartley
“Every age manifests itself by some external evidence. In a period such as ours when only a comparatively few individuals seem to be given to religion, some form other than the Gothic cathedral must be found.

“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.” IfsTryingDoePhilosophyUseCoursesAnswersPrinciplesCasesExpressionInvolvedConceptsConcernUltimateRelationPhilosophicalStructureTheologySymbolsFaithfulDescriptionDetached Book:Dynamics of Faith Source: Dynamics of Faith
“At the heart of the First Amendment is the recognition of the fundamental importance of the free flow of ideas and opinions on matters of public interest and concern. The freedom to speak one's mind is not only an aspect of individual liberty - and thus a good unto itself - but also is essential to the common quest for truth and the vitality of society as a whole. We have therefore been particularly vigilant to ensure that individual expressions of ideas remain free from governmentally imposed sanctions.” MindFirstsHeartIdeasMatterWholeIndividualSpeakInterestCommonLibertyOpinionExpressionEssentialsConcernAspectFlowImportanceFundamentalsRecognitionAmendmentsQuestsFreedom Of SpeechVitalityFirst AmendmentSanctionsVigilantIndividual LibertyPublic InterestIndividual Expression Author:William Rehnquist

“Childhood has been idealised as a lost garden paradise to which we can never return. We are excluded from this world of carelessness, innocence and unity. But the imaginary kingdom is nothing more than a projection of adult ideas and concerns onto the image, an expression of our own yearnings. By photographing children alone, divorced from any social setting, I allow them to exist on their own...I am exploring the equivocal connection between self and world.” WorldChildrenHas BeensIdeasSelfLostSocialChildhoodThis WorldExpressionReturnAdultsConcernGardenConnectionsUnitySettingKingdomsSettingsInnocenceParadiseYearningImaginaryExploringDivorcedProjectionExcludedCarelessness Author:Loretta Lux
