“It's probably hard for anyone looking at my landscapes today to realize that I was once regarded as a rebel, a dangerous influence; that I've been told I was on the verge of insanity, that my painting was nothing but meaningless daubs. Lawren Harris, the man most responsible for drawing the Group of Seven together, was accused of something perilously close to treason - his paintings, said his severest critics, were discouraging immigration.” MenSaidHardTodayTogetherRealizingGroupsInfluenceDangerousHe ManPaintingCriticismResponsibleCriticsSevenDrawingImmigrationLandscapeInsanityRebelMeaninglessAccusedDiscouragingTreasonVerge Author:A.

“Everybody knows that really intimate conversation is only possible between two or three. As soon as there are six or seven, collective language begins to dominate. That is why it is a complete misinterpretation to apply to the Church the words 'Wheresoever two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.' Christ did not say two hundred, or fifty, or ten. He said two or three.” KnowsSaidTwoTogetherThreeNamesLanguageChristChurchGroupsTenConversationSixHundredSevenIntimateFiftyCollectivesMidstMisinterpretationIntimate Conversation Book:Waiting on God (Routledge Revivals) Source: Waiting on God (Routledge Revivals)
“There are some people that aren't into all the words. There are some people who would have you not use certain words. Yeah, there are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven of them that you can't say on television. What a ratio that is. 399,993 to seven. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous, to be separated from a group that large. All of you over here, you seven. Bad words. That's what they told us they were, remember? 'That's a bad word.' You know bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad intentions.” PeopleUseRememberCertainLanguageGroupsTelevisionYeahIntentionSevenEnglish LanguageOutrageousRatiosBad WordBad ThoughtsBad Intentions Author:George Carlin
“The seven white notes on the piano - each section of the piece (there are 12 sections) is five of those seven white notes. If you calculate it, there are 21 groups of five notes in any group of seven notes. And although there are 12 sections, this piece actually uses nine of those groups because some of the sections repeat earlier ones. So that's the formula. It's very simple as a way of generating something. It's my inner minimalist.” IfsWayUseSimpleWhiteFivePiecesGroupsNotesSevenNinePianoRepeatsFormulasSectionsMinimalist Author:Brian Eno
“Werewolf is a simple game for a large group of people (seven or more.) It requires no equipment besides some bits of paper; you can play it just sitting in a circle. I’d call it a party game, except that it’s a game of accusations, lying, bluffing, second-guessing, assassination, and mob hysteria.” PeoplePlayLyingGamesBitsSimplePartyGroupsPaperSittingSevenCirclesEquipmentWerewolfAssassinationHysteriaAccusationGuessingLarge GroupsSecond Guessing Author:Andrew Plotkin
