“For me, painting is that magical material, that beautiful stuff that was invented, the ground-up pigments in oil which makes it very malleable. It can be manipulated and changed, darkened, lightened, given different hues and colors, so that by manipulating this material somehow I can find that figure I'm looking for, that figure that represents all the issues I'm bringing up and addressing.” I CanDifferentBeautifulGivenStuffIssuesFiguresChangedColorPaintingMaterialsOilMediumsHuePigment Author:Nathan Oliveira

“In space-time everything which for each of us constitutes the past, the present and the future is given en bloc...Each observer, as his time passes, discovers, so to speak, new slices of space-time which appear to him as successive aspects of the material world, though in reality the ensemble of events constituting space-time exist prior to his knowledge of them.” WorldRealityPastSpeakGivenSpaceEventsMaterialsAspectUnityObserversTime PassesEnsembleMaterial WorldSpace Time Author:Louis de Broglie
“To dream magnificently is not a gift given to all men, and even for those who possess it, it runs a strong risk of being progressively diminished by the ever-growing dissipation of modern life and by the restlessness engendered by material progress. The ability to dream is a divine and mysterious ability; because it is through dreams that man communicates with the shadowy world which surrounds him. But this power needs solitude to develop freely; the more one concentrates, the more one is likely to dream fully, deeply.” MenWorldNeedsDreamRunningStrongGivenAbilityGrowingProgressRiskModernDivineMaterialsSolitudeCommunicateMysteriousSurroundModern LifeRestlessnessDissipation Author:Charles Baudelaire

“One of the great arts in living is to learn the art of accurately appraising values. Everything that we think, that we earn, that we have given to us, that in any way touches our consciousness, has its own value. These values are apt to change with the mood, with time, or because of circumstances. We cannot safely tie to any material value. The values of all material possessions change continually, sometimes over night. Nothing of this nature has any permanent set value. The real values are those that stay by you, give you happiness and enrich you. They are the human values.” ThinkingWayGivingHumansArtRealSometimesNightValuesGivenConsciousnessMaterialsCircumstancesPossessionMoodPermanentTiesGreat ArtHuman ValuesReal ValueMaterial Possessions Author:George Matthew Adams
“The trouble is that the expression 'material thing' is functioning already, from the very beginning, simply as a foil for 'sense-datum'; it is not here given, and is never given, any other role to play, and apart from this consideration it would surely never have occurred to anybody to try to represent as some single kind of things the things which the ordinary man says that he 'perceives.” MenTryingKindPlayGivenRolesTroubleExpressionMaterialsPerceptionOrdinaryDataPerceiveConsiderationMaterial ThingsOrdinary ManFoils Author:J.

“genius is original, unique; and in whatever form it may develop itself is the greatest gift that can be given to man, the strongest known link between the material life we have and the spiritual life that we can only guess at.
