“An image that is unseen can't sell anything. It is pure, therefore true, beautiful, in one word: innocent. As long as no eye contaminates it, it is in perfect unison with the world. If it is not seen, the image and the object it represents belong together.” IfsWorldLongEyeTogetherBeautifulPerfectObjectsPureSellsInnocentUnseenOne WordUnison Author:Wim Wenders
“I can use the camera to make a place or landscape; the camera to a greater extent projects rather than takes in or reproduces. The camera, or, rather, the eye, produces the impression of the place: I as a photographer am not passively taking in; I am active as a subject generating the object.” I CanUseEyeGreaterSubjectsObjectsProduceProjectsCamerasPhotographerActiveImpressionLandscape Book:Olafur Eliasson: photographs Source: Olafur Eliasson: photographs
“Sometimes a photographer is a passenger, sometimes a person who stays in one place. What he watches changes constantly, but his watching never changes. He doesn't examine like a doctor, defend like a lawyer, analyze like a scholar, support like a priest, make people laugh like a comedian, or intoxicate like a singer. He only watches. This is enough. No, this is all I can do. All a photographer can do is watch. Therefore, a photographer has to watch all the time. He must face the object and make his entire body an eye. A photographer is someone who wagers everything on seeing.” PeoplePersonsI CanSometimesEnoughBodyEyeFacesCan DoWatchesSupportLaughingSeeingObjectsDoctorsPhotographerLawyerSingersComedianPriestsScholarNever ChangeMaking People LaughPassengersWagers Author:Shomei Tomatsu
“Let man then contemplate nature in full and lofty majesty, and turn his eyes away from the mean objects which surround him. Let him look at the dazzling light hung aloft as an eternal lamp to lighten the universe; let him behold the earth, a mere dot compared with the vast circuit which that orb describes, and stand amazed to find that the vast circuit itself is but a very fine point compared with the orbit traced by the starts as they roll their course on high.” MenLooksMeanLightEyeEarthTurnsUniverseCoursesObjectsFineEternalMereHis EyesSurroundContemplatingHungAmazedLampsMajestyLoftyDotsCircuitsOrbitDazzlingOrbs Author:Blaise Pascal
“The experience of beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. The artist's relation to the object of beauty, how the art makes that happen, is a whole other subject. Beauty is an event.

“In arriving at the relevant theory about the specifics of our faculty of vision we will presumably use our eyes to gather relevant data. Based on such data we come to know about the optic nerve, the structure of our eyes, the rods and cones, etc., so as to explain how it is that vision gives us reliable access to the shapes and colors of objects around us. In reliably arriving at that theory we thus exercise the very faculty whose reliability is explained by the theory. There is no vice in this sort of circularity.” KnowsGivingUseEyeVisionObjectsColorTheoryExerciseShapesStructureVicesAccessDataEtcFacultyNervesRelevantArrivingReliabilityConesSpecificsCircularity Author:Ernest Sosa
“I think that's there are a couple of reasons for that. One is as you're introducing the fourth and fifth versions of these MacGuffins that we've been playing with for a long time, you wanna do something different with them and not just have them be an object passed around. So the notion that something is inherent in the literal body of one of your lead heroes is interesting. And the idea that the Eye of Agamotto's a great relic over the course of Doctor Strange comics anyway.” ThinkingLongIdeasDifferentReasonBodyEyeCoursesInterestingObjectsStrangeCoupleHeroLong TimeDoctorsNotionVersionsFourthIntroducingInherentFifthLiteralRelics Author:Kevin Feige
