“This is not remarkable, for, as we know, reality is not a function of the event as event, but of the relationship of that event to past, and future, events. We seem here to have a paradox: that the reality of an event, which is not real in itself, arises from the other events which, likewise, in themselves are not real. But this only affirms what we must affirm: that direction is all. And only as we realize this do we live, for our own identity is dependent upon this principal.” KnowsRealRealitySeemsPastRealizingEventsIdentityFunctionAriseDependentRemarkableParadoxPrincipalFuture Events Book:All the King's Men Source: All the King's Men
“Self-painting is a further development of painting. The pictorial surface has lost its function as sole expressive support. It was led back to its origins, the wall, the object, the living being, the human body. By incorporating my body as expressive support, occurrences arise as a result, the course of which the camera records and the viewer can experience” HumansSelfBodyCoursesLostResultsSupportRecordsObjectsPaintingWallDevelopmentFunctionCamerasSurfaceAriseSoleViewersHuman BodyExpressivePictorialIncorporating Author:Gunter Brus
“I established the opposite view, that this history of the embryo (ontogeny) must be completed by a second, equally valuable, and closely connected branch of thought - the history of race (phylogeny). Both of these branches of evolutionary science, are, in my opinion, in the closest causal connection; this arises from the reciprocal action of the laws of heredity and adaptation... 'ontogenesis is a brief and rapid recapitulation of phylogenesis, determined by the physiological functions of heredity (generation) and adaptation (maintenance).” ActionLawViewsRaceOpinionGenerationsConnectionsOppositesFunctionValuableConnectedDeterminedAriseBranchesClosestAdaptationRapidsMaintenanceReciprocalPhysiologicalHeredityEmbryosRecapitulation Author:Ernst Haeckel
“The mind always functions in an eccentric way, the mind is always an idiot. The really intelligent person has no mind. Intelligence arises out of no-mind, idiocy out of the mind. Mind is idiotic, no-mind is wise. No-mind is wisdom, intelligence. Mind depends on knowledge, on methods, on money, on experience, on this and that. Mind always needs props, it needs supports, it cannot exist on its own. On its own, it flops.” WayNeedsMindPersonsSupportWiseDependsFunctionIntelligentMethodIntelligenceAriseIdiotEccentricPropsIdioticIdiocyIntelligent Person Author:Rajneesh
