“Every human encounter is the external embodiment of an attraction between two magnetic fields. The encounter comes suddenly, unexpectedly. It is a moment of truth. It is a moment of revelation, as when the right ray of sun penetrates through the right window pane, and falls with the right slant on one picture in the museum.” HumansTwoMomentsFallSunFieldsWindowAttractionEncountersRevelationsMuseumsRaysPenetrateEmbodimentMagneticMoment Of TruthWindow PanesMagnetic Fields Author:Amalia Kahana-Carmon
“Photography is much more about elimination than inclusion. The images we make with a lens typically eliminate ninety percent of our field of view and everything that is out of our field of view. The shutter slices time, eliminating all moments before and after it opens and closes. Three dimensions are reduced to two. And in some cases color is removed. How can we call these kinds of artifacts unaltered?” KindTwoMomentsThreeViewsCasesFieldsColorPhotographyPercentDimensionsInclusionLensesNinetyEliminationEliminatingArtifactsShuttersBefore And AfterThree Dimensions Author:John Paul Caponigro
“Under that light rain, beaming in the night game, can't stop now, keep moving, no brake pads. Came here to prove a point, live my life on the field, make history in between the base paths. And compete against the fear that is in me, that's my only barrier and I swear I'm going to break that. From the mud, the cleats that we dragged through the feet, this is that moment and you cannot take it back... This is what you make of it, yeah we play to win, live it like we're under the lights of the stadium. Fight, until the day that God decides to wave us in, right, until he waves us in.” PlayMomentsLightMovingNightFightingGamesWinningBreakPathFeetFieldsProveRainYeahWaveBarriersThat MomentSwearLiving My LifeMudKeep MovingStadiumsPadsBrakePlay To WinCleats Author:Macklemore
“You cannot judge a man's life by the success of a moment, by the victory of an hour, or even by the results of a year. You must view his life as a whole. You must stand where you can see the man as he treads the entire path that leads from the cradle to the grave - now crossing the plain, now climbing the steeps, now passing through pleasant fields, now wending his way with difficulty between rugged rocks - tempted, tried, tested, triumphant.” MenWayYearsWholeMomentsHoursResultsViewsPathRocksFieldsHe ManJudgingVictoryDifficultyGravesPassingPassingsPleasantClimbingTestedTemptedCradleCrossingsTriumphantPassing ThroughRugged Book:The Life and Speeches of Hon.

“In the chequered area of human experience the seasons are all mingled as in the golden age: fruit and blossom hang together; in the same moment the sickle is reaping and the seed is sprinkled; one tends the green cluster and another treads the wine-press. Nay, in each of our lives harvest and spring-time are continually one, until Death himself gathers us and sows us anew in his invisible fields.” LifeHumansMomentsAgeTogetherOur LivesFieldsSpringAreasSeasonsGreenWinePressesFruitSeedsInvisibleGoldenHarvestHuman ExperienceGolden AgeClustersSpring Time Book:Daniel Deronda Source: Daniel Deronda

“When I sit with students, I do not just want to help them solve their problems. I want to find a moment with each person where their mind stops and their eyes open.

“When a sudden ray of sun or a moonbeam falls on a dreary street, it makes no difference what it illumines-a broken bottle on the ground, a fading flower in a field, or the flaxen blonde hair of a child's head. The object is transformed and the viewer is transfixed. Celebrate that moment of beauty and take it with you in your memory. It is God's gift to you.” ChildrenMomentsFallDifferencesMemoriesBeautySunStreetsFieldsObjectsFlowerHairBrokenCelebrateThat MomentBottlesRaysTransformedViewersOur MemoriesBlondeFadingDrearyBlonde HairMoonbeams Author:Luci Swindoll
“Any proposals for the future, while they should use to the full the experience gathered in the past, should not be restricted by consideration of sectional interests established in the obtaining of that experience.
