“The best introduction by far to representation of the human figure in art. The Nude is a beautifully written work of sophisticated connoisseurship that analyzes art in its own terms rather than imposing strident, politicized categories on it. It outlines the major body types, male and female, in Western art and, via a wealth of illustrations, trains the reader's eye to detect and evaluate proportion. This book reveres art” HumansArtBookBodyEyeTermWealthWrittenFiguresTypeReaderMajorsFemaleTrainWesternMalesProportionCategoriesSophisticatedRepresentationIntroductionEvaluateOutlinesImposingIllustrationBody Types Author:Camille Paglia
“The right to freedom of expression is justified first of all as the right of an individual purely in his capacity as an individual. It derives from the widely accepted premise of Western thought that the proper end of man is the realization of his character and potentialities as a human being.” MenFirstsHumansEndsCharacterIndividualHuman BeingsAcceptanceExpressionCapacityWesternAcceptedCivil RightsRealizationJustifiedPremisesFreedom Of Expression Author:Thomas I.

“There is one great truth in western politics that I have been able to see, and that is this: The more left wing your political ideals are, the more naive a person you are likely to be. The more right wing your political ideals are, the more evil a person you are likely to be. Choosing a political standpoint is largely a matter of deciding which failure as a human you are more comfortable with.” HumansPersonsHas BeensMatterAblePoliticalEvilPoliticsLeftComfortableIdealsWingsWesternNaiveRight WingStandpointLeft Wing Author:Derek R.

“This propaganda of dis-associating Western Negroes from Africa is not a new one. For many years white propagandists have been printing tons of literature to impress scattered Ethiopia, especially that portion within their civilization, with the idea that Africa is a despised place, inhabited by savages, and cannibals, where no civilized human being should go, especially black civilized human beings. This propaganda is promulgated for the cause that is being realized today. That cause is COLONIAL EXPANSION for the white nations of the world.” WorldShouldYearsHumansHas BeensIdeasTodayLiteratureNationsCausesBlackHuman BeingsWhiteCivilizationWesternPropagandaCivilizedBeing RealPortionsSavagesImpressExpansionPrintingDespisedCannibalEthiopiaPropagandist Book:The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, Or, Africa for the Africans Source: The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, Or, Africa for the Africans
“England has to fulfill a double mission in India: one destructive, the other regenerating - the annihilation of old Asiatic society, and the laying the material foundations of Western society in Asia... When a great social revolution shall have mastered the results of the bourgeois epoch... and subjected them to the common control of the most advanced peoples, then only will human progress cease to resemble that hideous, pagan idol, who would not drink the nectar but from the skulls of the slain.” HumansSocialResultsCommonProgressMaterialsRevolutionDrinkIndiaEnglandFoundationWesternMissionsCeaseDestructiveIdolsAsiaPaganSkullsBourgeoisHideousAnnihilationEpochHuman ProgressNectarSocial RevolutionWestern Society Author:Karl Marx
“The transnational corporations and the money markets have declared the era of human-designed regulations over. Now the market must reign. Because few people in the business community are paid to think about phrases such as "Western civilization," they don't seem to realize that they are proposing the arbitrary denial of 2,500 years of human experience.” PeopleThinkingYearsHumansSeemsRealizingCommunityCivilizationPaidWesternErasDenialCorporationsPhrasesRegulationReignHuman ExperienceArbitraryWestern CivilizationTransnational Corporations Author:John Ralston Saul
