“Paradoxically, capital has unleashed myriad objects upon us, in their manifold horror and sparkling splendor. Two hundred years of idealism, two hundred years of seeing humans at the center of existence, and now the objects take revenge, terrifyingly huge, ancient, long-lived, threateningly minute, invading every cell in our body.” YearsHumansLongTwoBodyExistenceSeeingMinutesObjectsHugeHorrorHundredAncientRevengeCellsIdealismSplendorSparklingUnleashedManifoldInvading Author:Timothy Morton

“The character of the landscape changes from hour to hour, day to day, season to season. Nothing of the earth can be taken for granted; you feel that Creation is going on in your sight. You see things in the high air that you do not see farther down in the lowlands. In the high country all objects bear upon you, and you touch hard upon the earth. From my home I can see the huge, billowing clouds; they draw close upon me and merge with my life.” FeelsI CanCountryHardCharacterHomeEarthHoursTakenAirCreationObjectsHugeBearsDrawsSeasonsSightCloudsGrantedLandscapeDay To DayTaken For Granted Author:N.

“The plane as an object has been a huge effort to make. It is a sculpture, a technological invention, a piece of aviation culture.

“The Witness is a huge step forward, and it is a necessary and important step in meditation, but it is not ultimate. When the Witness or the soul is finally undone, then the Witness dissolves into everything that is witnessed.

“Black holes are very exotic objects. Technically, a black hole puts a huge amount of mass inside of zero volume.

“I always think that if you deal with extremely emotional, even melodramatic, subject matter, as I constantly do, the best way to handle those situations is at a sufficient remove. It's like a doctor and a nurse and a casualty situation. You can't help the patient and you can't help yourself by emoting. And I don't think cinema is intended for therapy, so I object also to that huge, massive manipulation which is perpetrated on the public.” IfsThinkingWayMatterHelpingDealsSituationSubjectsObjectsEmotionalHugeDoctorsPatientHandleBest WayTherapyCinemaSufficientRemoveMassiveManipulationNurseDo The BestSubject MatterCasualtiesHelp Yourself Author:Peter Greenaway
