“Long ago, during my apprenticeship in the wine trade, I learned that wine is more than the sum of its parts, and more than an expression of its physical origin. The real significance of wine as the nexus of just about everything became clearer to me when I started writing about it. The more I read, the more I traveled, and the more questions I asked, the further I was pulled into the realms of history and economics, politics, literature, food, community, and all else that affects the way we live. Wine, I found, draws on everything and leads everywhere.” WayWritingLongRealFoundLiteratureCommunityExpressionDrawsEconomicsTradeWineRealmsSignificanceLong AgoTraveledApprenticeshipNexus Book:A Carafe of Red Source: A Carafe of Red
“It is generally admitted that the cultural values (humanization) and the existing institutions and policies of society are rarely,if ever, in harmony. This opinion has found expression in the distinction between culture and civilization, according to which "culture" refers to some higher dimension of human autonomy and fulfillment, while "civilization" designates the realm of necessity, of socially necessary work and behavior, where man is not really himself and in his own element but is subject to heteronomy, to external conditions and needs.” IfsMenNeedsHumansValuesCultureFoundOpinionConditionsSubjectsPolicyExpressionHigherCivilizationBehaviorElementsHarmonyInstitutionsFulfillmentRealmsDimensionsDistinctionAutonomy Author:Herbert Marcuse
“To one completely committed to this realm of becoming, as are the empiricists, the claim to apprehend verities is a sign of psychopathology. Probably we have here but a highly sophisticated expression of the doctrine that ideals are hallucination and that the only normal, sane person is the healthy extrovert, making instant, instinctive adjustments to the stimuli of the material world.” WorldPersonsExpressionMaterialsBecomingHealthyNormalIdealsClaimsCommittedDoctrineRealmsInstantSaneSophisticatedStimulusAdjustmentHallucinationsMaterial WorldExtrovertsPsychopathology Book:Ideas Have Consequences: Expanded Edition Source: Ideas Have Consequences: Expanded Edition
“Sex is probably one of the last forms of human expression to enjoy such a direct connection with nature. It might be the primary site of conflict between nature and culture. If one assumes that nature (or instinct) is repressed in a highly civilised society, then I think the conceptual dyad nature-culture is best preserved there, in the realm of sex.” IfsThinkingHumansMightLastsFormCultureSexEnjoyExpressionConflictDirectConnectionsAssumingInstinctPrimariesRealmsSiteRepressedCivilisedCivilised Society Author:Thomas Koerfer
“Sometimes an artist's vision may get blurred when subjected to a committee because an artwork is usually an expression of something unconscious that is better left in the realm of one person's unconscious if it is to speak to another person's unconscious.” IfsMayPersonsSometimesArtistLeftSpeakVisionExpressionRealmsUnconsciousCommitteesArtwork Author:Philippa Perry
