“Anne Pitkin's poems have such lyrical sweep, such a sensitive eye for the natural world as it touches the human, that reading Winter Arguments is like seeing a landscape or, better, a richly realized painting of a landscape dotted with figures. But that would leave out their music, which would be a loss. This is a wise and graceful book by a well-traveled woman who knows how to confront deep feeling and frame it to make it all the more intense.” KnowsWorldHumansWellsBookFeelingsWould BeEyeReadingNaturalLossKnow HowWiseSeeingFiguresPaintingArgumentWinterIntenseLandscapeSensitiveTraveledNatural WorldLyricalDeep Feeling Author:Rosellen Brown
“I talk as I sketch, too, in order to keep their minds off what I'm doing so I'll get the most natural expression I can from them. Also, the talking helps to size up the subject's personality, so I can figure out better how to portray him.” MindI CanHelpingArtistOrderNaturalTalkingSubjectsFiguresExpressionPersonalitySize Author:Norman Rockwell

“Now, learning how to make a movie is something you can figure out in about an afternoon. The physics of it, the marks, the lights, etc. What's hard to do is to suspend your own feelings of self consciousness. The natural actors can do that; they can become part of a characterization and learn how to maintain it.” SelfHardFeelingsLightActorsCan DoNaturalConsciousnessFiguresMarkPhysicsEtcAfternoonSelf ConsciousnessCharacterization Author:Tom Hanks
“I believe in people. I feel, love, need and respect people above all else, including natural scenery, organized piety and nationalistic superstructures. One human figure on the slope of a mountain can make the mountain disappear for me, one person fighting for truth can disqualify for me the entire system which had dispensed it.” PeopleNeedsFeelsBelieveHumansPersonsFightingI BelieveNaturalFiguresMountainIncludingI Believe InDisappearOrganizedPietyScenerySlopesRespect PeopleNationalisticNatural Scenery Author:Leonard Bernstein
“The Lockean assumption that if we put our labor to it then it becomes our own is totally fallacious. We have to figure out how to leave things alone, and build an economic system that's not built on a linear model, but instead on a cyclical model, because that's the natural world - it's cyclical and not linear. That is going to take a lot of transformation.” IfsWorldNaturalEconomicFiguresModelsBuiltLaborTransformationEnvironmentalAssumptionSustainabilityNatural WorldLinearEconomic Systems Author:Winona LaDuke
