“What you have to do is disavow yourself from any sense other than ascendancy. That's the only direction you could possibly have towards painting. There's no other direction at all. There's no other space in art. There's no other way in which you can find yourself except in somehow feeling it. And by holding to this feeling you can once again reach out and guess and miss - and sometimes hit.” WayArtSometimesFeelingsSpaceMissingPaintingFinding YourselfReach OutAscendancy Author:Milton Resnick

“I wanted to experience both. I wanted worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. I wanted what the Greeks called kalos kai agathos, the singular balance of the good and the beautiful. I'd been missing both during these last hard years, because both pleasure and devotion require a stress-free space in which to flourish and I'd been living in a giant trash compactor of nonstop anxiety. As for how to balance the urge for pleasure against the longing for devotion...well, surely there was a way to learn that trick.” WayYearsWellsHardWantedLastsBeautifulSpacePleasureMissingDivineBalanceAnxietyStressLongingTricksDevotionGreekGiantsEnjoymentUrgesWorldlyTrashTranscendenceStress Free Author:Elizabeth Gilbert

“My message to the world is that until we recognize that peace is not just the absence of war but the revival of life on the "backlines," where women are keeping kids in school, caring for the sick and injured, and daily negotiating space for the continuation of critical life processes of this nature, we're going to continue to miss the point.” WorldWarKidsSchoolProcessSpaceMissingMessagesSickCaringCriticalAbsenceRevivalInjuredContinuationNegotiating Author:Zainab Salbi
“You've got the people you know, which are problematic. Always. They're rich but they're also real people living their lives alongside you. Then you've got the people that you make-up completely, who are often missing a dimension if they don't have some reference to real people. So strangers exist in this in-between space, where in not knowing them, you are creating a fiction for them, even in passing, but at the same time, there they are, with their actual bodies and their actual clothes. It's totally enticing.” PeopleIfsKnowsRealBodySpaceFictionKnowingRichMissingCreatingClothesStrangerPassingPassingsDimensionsNot KnowingEnticing Author:Miranda July
“Anyone working in the media can tell you that there seems to be an always-ready-to-explode segment of the populace for whom offense is a fate worse than anything imaginable.

“The brain "fills in" the missing information from the blind spot. Notice what you see in the location of the dot when it's in your blind spot. When the dot disappears, you do not perceive a hole of whiteness or blackness in its place; instead your brain invents a patch of the background pattern. Your brain, with no information from that particular spot in visual space, fills in with the patterns around it. You're not perceiving what's out there. You're perceiving whatever your brain tells you.” SpaceBrainMissingInformationParticularBlindPatternsDisappearBackgroundsHolesSpotsPerceiveVisualsLocationPatchesDotsBlacknessWhitenessBlind Spots Author:David Eagleman
