“The peculiarity of sculpture is that it creates a three-dimensional object in space. Painting may strive to give on a two-dimensional plane, the illusion of space, but it is space itself as a perceived quantity that becomes the peculiar concern of the sculptor. We may say that for the painter space is a luxury; for the sculptor it is a necessity.” GivingMayTwoThreeSpaceObjectsPaintingIllusionConcernStrivePainterLuxuryPlanesPeculiarQuantitySculptureSculptors Author:Herbert Read
“Life itself today has lost its plane reality: it is projected, not along the old fixed points, but along the dynamic coordinates of Einstein, of revolution. In this new projection, the best-known formulas and objects become displaced, fantastic, familiar-unfamiliar. This is why it is so logical for literature today to be drawn to the fantastic plot, or to an amalgam of reality and fantasy.” InspirationalArtRealityTodayLiteratureLostKnownFantasyObjectsRevolutionFamiliarFantasticPlanesFixedPlotLogicalFormulasProjectionUnfamiliarCoordinates Author:Yevgeny Zamyatin
“The plane as an object has been a huge effort to make. It is a sculpture, a technological invention, a piece of aviation culture. But really, it only exists to be inserted into a variety of landscapes, to be a catalyst, to offset them.” Has BeensCultureEffortPiecesObjectsHugeInventionVarietyLandscapePlanesAviationTechnologicalSculptureCatalyst Author:Aleksandra Mir
“As I was whizzing around the United States on yet another demented book tour, getting up at four in the morning to catch planes, doing two cities a day, eating the Pringle food object out of the mini-bar at night as I crawled around on the hotel room floor, too tired even to phone room service, I thought, 'There must be a better way of doing this'.” WayTwoBookStatesNightUnitedRoomsCitiesMorningUnited StatesFourObjectsEatingTiredPhonesBarsPlanesHotelBetter WaysHotel RoomsDementedRoom ServicePringles Author:Margaret Atwood
“Turbulence.” This is what pilots announce that you have encountered when your plane strikes an object in midair. You'll be flying along, and there will be an enormous, shuddering WHUMP, and clearly the plane has rammed into an airborne object at least the size of a water buffalo, and the pilot will say, “Folks, we're encountering a little turbulence.” Meanwhile they are up there in the cockpit trying desperately to clean water-buffalo organs off the windshield.” TryingLittlesWaterObjectsCleanFolksSizeStrikesFlyingEnormousPlanesPilotsOrgansBuffaloClean WaterTurbulenceAirborneShudderingCockpitWater Buffalo Author:Dave Barry
