“For Singapore, its test for its own democracy must be whether it fit and serve the interests of its people and conditions, and not serve some abstract ideal that the Western media thought it ought to conform to. If in 10 years, Philippines, Taiwan and Korea were better societies because they adopted the US model, Singapore would hurry to catch.” PeopleIfsYearsInterestDemocracyConditionsMediaOughtFitModelsIdealsTestsWesternAbstractConformAdoptedKoreaSingaporePhilippinesTaiwanWestern Media Author:Goh Chok Tong
“They that examine into the Nature of Man, abstract from Art and Education, may observe, that what renders him a Sociable Animal, consists not in his desire of Company, Good-nature, Pity, Affability, and other Graces of a fair Outside; but that his vilest and most hateful Qualities are the most necessary Accomplishments to fit him for the largest, and, according to the World, the happiest and most flourishing Societies.” MenWorldMayArtDesireAnimalQualityCompanyGraceFitFairsPityAccomplishmentAbstractHatefulFlourishingNature Of ManGood NatureSociable Book:The Fable of the Bees Source: The Fable of the Bees
“I was struggling to figure out how to combine the abstract and the representational. Painting, I suddenly understood how that aesthetic could fit together. That was a really fun game to figure out how that worked.” TogetherGamesFunStruggleFiguresPaintingFitUnderstoodAbstractAesthetic Author:Margaux Williamson
“All things whatsoever God in his infinite wisdom has seen fit and proper to reveal to us, while we are dwelling in mortality, in regard to our mortal bodies, are revealed to us in the abstract, and independent of affinity of this mortal tabernacle, but are revealed to our spirits precisely as though we had no bodies at all.” BodySpiritFitAll ThingsInfiniteRegardIndependentMortalsAbstractMortalityDwellingAffinity Author:Sam Smith
“No one else writes like Gord Downie, so it's difficult to compare him. He can work in the abstract and still somehow be really specific. He lets parts of his consciousness in that most writers aren't able to do, myself included. I don't feel like I have that access to the surreal and the somehow beautifully meaningful non-sequitur - that fits perfectly. I can never figure that out, how he does that.” WritingDifficultConsciousnessFitMeaningfulCompareAbstractSurreal Author:John K. Samson
“I love theater, a performance and designing a visual spectacle. It is like creating a composition with clothes, which have to fit the psychology as well as the body of characters. The performance is frozen in time, the clothes have to stay reliable and help to define the story. Fashion can be much more abstract. It needs no story because the woman is the story. She supplies the text and content. Fashion for retail is the opposite of frozen, it has to change and morph constantly to stay relevant - to be the "fashion.".” CharacterHelpingPsychologyFashionDesignFitAbstractRelevantComposition Author:Isabel Toledo
