“It seems to me that Mr. Sculley understood the very nucleus of existence, that he had kept his young eyes and young heart even though his body had grown old. He saw straight through to the cosmic order of things, and he knew that life is not held only in flesh and bone, but also in those objects - a good, faithful pair of shoes; a reliable car; a pen that always works; a bike that has taken you many a mile.” HeartBodySeemsEyeYoungLife IsOrderExistenceTakenSawsCarObjectsUnderstoodShoesBonesFleshMilesFaithfulPairsPensCosmicBikePair Of ShoesGood FaithNucleusYoung At Heart Author:Robert R.

“There are two primary ways in which mans relates himself to the world that surround him: manipulation and appreciation .

“There is a man who exists as one of the most popular objects of leadership, legislation, and quasi-literature in the history of all men. . . . This man, that object of attention, attack, and vast activity, cannot make himself be heard, let alone understood. He has never been listened to. . . . That man is Black and alive in white America where the media of communication do not allow the delivery of his own voice, his own desires, his own rage.” MenAmericaDesireLiteratureBlackVoiceWhiteAttentionAliveHeardMediaObjectsCommunicationActivityUnderstoodRageLegislationDelivery Author:June Jordan

“The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.” IfsNeedsHumansKindArtSpiritCreativityObjectsFineExerciseUnderstoodArt IsConcernAbsolutesProductionsCraftsDivisionRequirementsFine ArtsRepercussionsHuman NeedsIndirectCraftsman Author:Jacques Maritain
“The main thesis of mind-physics holds that consciousness and matter are both manifestations of a more primary entity, and that the processes of manifestation exhibit equivalent invariances for both consciousness and matter. When the program for mind-physics is complete the subject-object dichotomy of modal logic, the polarity of concept-percept, and the antagonism between morality and technology will all come to an end. Then the non-repeatable experiment will be understood to be more primary than the traditional repeatable experiment.” MindEndsMatterProcessConsciousnessTechnologySubjectsObjectsMoralityUnderstoodConceptsProgramLogicPhysicsExperimentsTraditionalPrimariesManifestationEntityExhibitsThesisDichotomyAntagonismPolarity Author:Paul Laffoley

“The idea that hardware on networks should just be caches for movable process descriptions and the processes themselves goes back quite a ways. There's a real sense in which MS and Apple never understood networking or operating systems (or what objects really are), and when they decided to beef up their OSs, they went to (different) very old bad mainframe models of OS design to try to adapt to personal computers.” WayShouldTryingIdeasDifferentRealProcessDesignObjectsComputerModelsUnderstoodDecidedApplesDescriptionNetworkingBeefHardwareOperating SystemsPersonal ComputersCacheMainframe Author:Alan Kay
“In reggae I have a model of artistic excellence and possibility that is challenging and inspiring. The poem remains a demanding thing - an object to be understood and shaped into my own sense of self, the same is true of the play, the novel, the short story. Yet, for some reason, I approach these existing genres with the kind of confidence that the reggae artist approaches any song floating around out there.” KindSelfReasonPlayStoriesArtistSongChallengesMy OwnNovelPossibilityObjectsApproachModelsUnderstoodRemainsExcellenceArtisticGenreShort StoryFloatingSense Of SelfReggae Author:Kwame Dawes
