“The corporation is one of the great unheralded human inventions of destruction. It is a way to absolve from any personal liability a bunch of people.

“The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal.

“I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it. I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others. I want to save and advance human life, not destroy it. I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill.

“One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting is the attempt to substitute the inventions of the intellect for a pristine imaginative conception. The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design. The term 'life' as used in art is something not to be held in contempt, for it applies all of its existence, and the province of art is to react to it and not to shun it. Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again be great.” HumansDoeArtFormUsedTermHuman BeingsDealsExistenceDesignColorPaintingArt IsWeaknessConcernIntellectInventionRealmsAbstractSubstitutesConceptionContemptArrangementsImaginativeInner LifeProvincesPristineAbstract PaintingTerm Life Author:Edward Hopper
“If human thought is a growth, like all other growths, its logic is without foundation of its own, and is only the adjusting constructiveness of all other growing things. A tree cannot find out, as it were, how to blossom, until comes blossom-time. A social growth cannot find out the use of steam engines, until comes steam-engine-time.” IfsHumansUseScienceSocialGrowthGrowingProgressTreeLogicFoundationInventionEnginesSteamAdjustingHuman ThoughtSteam EnginesGrowing Things Book:Lo!
