“The historian is looked upon as objective when he measures the past by the popular opinions of his own time, as subjective when he does not take these opinions for models. That man is thought best fitted to depict a period of the past, who is not in the least affected by that period. But only he who has a share in building up the future can grasp what the past has been, and only when transformed into a work of art can history arouse or even sustain instincts.” MenDoeHas BeensArtPastOpinionShareBuildingPeriodsModelsInstinctObjectivesAffectedWorks Of ArtHistorianTransformedSubjectiveBuilding UpPopular Opinion Author:Georg Brandes
“One of the major challenges facing creative individuals is that of building upon the continuity of human knowledge while achieving novel insights. ... On the one hand, to intensify an inquiry and develop a sense of commitment to a creative life, the learner needs models, teachers, and collaborators. On the other hand, the individual, while building upon the past, needs to transform it, and thus broaden his or her choices.” NeedsHumansHandsPastChoicesIndividualChallengesCreativityNovelCreativeTeacherAchieveBuildingMajorsModelsCommitmentInnovationInsightInquiryContinuityLearnersCollaboratorsHuman KnowledgeCreative Life Author:Vera John-Steiner
“I would like to say that I have software that allows me to model worlds to a high degree of scientific plausibility. I'd also like to be six foot two and fifteen years into my reign as Emperor of Europa.

“But most of us who aren't models aren't models, right? And so, you just have to get used to that and sort of read right past it. So. On the sex symbol piece, I don't get that piece.

“Because of these new car models there is suddenly on the streets of Delhi a new intolerance by the motorists for both the cows and the cyclists. So for the first time the sacred cow in India, which used to be such a wonderful speed-breaker, is now seen as a nuisance. For the first time, Ive seen cows being hit and hurt. These guys just go right past, and if the cow is sitting on the road, they dont care. We cant afford to have a sacred car rather than a sacred cow.” IfsFirstsCarePastUsedGuyHurtWonderfulStreetsCarModelsSittingFirst TimeIndiaSacredDon't CareSpeedUsed To BeCowsIntoleranceNuisanceNew CarDelhiCyclistsSacred Cows Author:Vandana Shiva

“The key question facing those of us working in the media (old and new) is whether we embrace and adapt to the radical changes brought about by the Internet or pretend that we can somehow hop into a journalistic Way Back Machine and return to a past that no longer exists and can't be resurrected.

“It is quite difficult to establish a clear-cut cause-and-effect relationship, as the causes are manifold and closely connected. It is simply not correct to link the level of democracy to prosperity. It is absolutely clear that the economic wealth of Saudi Arabia exceeds the performance of the Czech Republic. But apparently democracy is quite stable in the Czech Republic, which cannot be said about Saudi Arabia. As we delve into the past, we must not forget about the existing model of society.” SaidPastCausesDifficultWealthForgetLevelsDemocracyClearCuttingEconomicEffectsModelsPerformancesProsperityConnectedLinksRepublicStableExceedCause And EffectArabiaSaudi ArabiaSaudisManifoldCzechCzech Republic Author:Garry Kasparov
