“We learned from Gauguin that every work of art is a transposition, a caricature, a passionate equivalent of a sensation which has been experienced. He freed us from all restraints which the idea of copying naturally placed on our painter's instincts. All artists are now free to express their own personality.” Has BeensArtIdeasArtistFreedomPersonalityArt IsInstinctPassionatePainterWorks Of ArtSensationsRestraintCaricaturesCopying Author:Maurice Denis
“Everest is regarded as one of, if not the most challenging of human conquests. I was passionate about climbing and a great believer that one should always challenge their own perception of where their boundaries lie. Everest seemed like an irrational challenge for an Egyptian, so I embraced it wholeheartedly. This feeling grew stronger when I realized that no Egyptian had attempted, let alone stood, on the roof of the world. The desire and pride of representing my country and raising the Egyptian flag on the highest points on earth has been with me ever since.” IfsWorldShouldHumansHas BeensCountryFeelingsEarthLyingDesireChallengesPrideGrewPerceptionHighestStrongerPassionateBelieverI RealizedBoundariesClimbingFlagsRoofIrrationalConquestRepresentingEgyptianEverestWholeheartedly Author:Omar Samra
“The new tinge to modern minds is a vehement and passionate interest in the relation of general principles to irreducible and stubborn facts. All the world over and at all times there have been practical men, absorbed in 'irreducible and stubborn facts'; all the world over and at all times there have been men of philosophic temperament, who have been absorbed in the weaving of general principles. It is this union of passionate interest in the detailed facts with equal devotion to abstract generalisation which forms the novelty of our present society.” MenWorldMindHas BeensFactsFormInterestPrinciplesModernEqualRelationUnionsPassionatePracticalsDevotionAll TimeAbstractStubbornTemperamentNoveltyWeavingPhilosophicVehementGeneralisation Author:Alfred North Whitehead
