“As photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs. Move on objects with your eye straight on, to the left, around on the right. Watch them grow large as they approach, group and regroup as you shift your position. Relationships gradually emerge and sometimes assert themselves with finality. And that's your picture.” SometimesEyeMovingBeliefLeftGrowsWatchesGroupsPositionObjectsApproachPhotographerRelaxFinality Author:Aaron Siskind
“But when reflexion begins to play upon these objects... like some trick of magic each object is loosed into a group of impressions - colour, odour, texture... And if we continue to dwell in thought on this world... the whole scope of observation is dwarfed into the narrow chamber of the individual mind.” IfsWorldMindPlayWholeIndividualMagicGroupsObjectsThis WorldTricksImpressionObservationColourScopeChamberTextureImpressionism Author:Walter Pater
“In obedience to the feeling of reality, we shall insist that, in the analysis of propositions, nothing "unreal" is to be admitted. But, after all, if there is nothing unreal, how, it may be asked, could we admit anything unreal? The reply is that, in dealing with propositions, we are dealing in the first instance with symbols, and if we attribute significance to groups of symbols which have no significance, we shall fall into the error of admitting unrealities, in the only sense in which this is possible, namely, as objects described.” IfsFirstsMayFeelingsRealityFallGroupsObjectsErrorsInstanceSymbolsObedienceAnalysisSignificanceAttributesPropositionsUnrealAdmittingUnreality Book:Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy Source: Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy

“In accordance to the principles of doublethink, it does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is, that victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous. The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labour. A hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects, and its object is not victory over Eurasia or Eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.” IfsDifferentWarRealMatterPastEffortPrinciplesPovertyGroupsSubjectsObjectsIgnoranceVictoryBasesStructureEastVersionsMeant To BeAsiaRulingStarvationEast Asia Author:Michael Moore

“I love museums, but I always thought there was something funny about a group of strangers silently staring at works of inanimate objects together. Each person is having a very personal and maybe even emotional experience, but it's in the confines of an extremely quiet and sterile room.” PersonsTogetherRoomsGroupsObjectsEmotionalQuietStrangerStaringMuseumsInanimate Objects Author:Hiro Murai
