“Somebody said, "Well, you're going to write your definitive book about your life, biography." No, I'm not. I haven't done that. I wrote a book of letters which gives an insight into the real me as opposed to the public perceptions of me. But I'm convinced historians will figure out the things we got wrong and hopefully the things we got right.” GivingWritingWellsSaidBookRealDoneHavensFiguresPerceptionLettersInsightConvincedHopefullyHistorianBiographiesReal Me Author:George H.

“I think people's perception is that when you're famous, you want people to love you. That's a big part of why people become famous, because they don't just want love, they want it on a grand scale. But once you realize - and it's not a big trick to really figure it out - that it's just completely artificial, an external pumping of the ego that's never going to really help you, then it's an easy thing to step out of it. That's probably why Harrison Ford lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.” PeopleThinkingWantHelpingBigsEasyRealizingStepsLove YouFiguresEgoPerceptionScalesTricksHolesArtificialEasy ThingsWyomingJackson Hole Author:Woody Harrelson
“I don't think that we can figure out what is going on in conscious colour perception just by phenomenological introspection. We need to know about brain mechanisms as well.

“I love, first of all, reading and discovering what the common perception is and then trying to figure out... well, how does your life cross over into that character, or what's an angle on this that might challenge the status quo? It's just a great journey as well as an education.

“I am an American man, and in America, we still think of figure skaters as little girls in pretty, sparkly dresses - I worked very hard to change the perception and image of figure skating, and I think I've done a great job on my end, but in figure skating, taste needs to evolve.” ThinkingMenNeedsLittlesStillsEndsHardDoneJobsAmericaGirlFiguresTastePerceptionDressesEvolveSkatingGreat JobFigure SkatingSkater Author:Johnny Weir
“The Photograph is an extended, loaded evidence — as if it caricatured not the figure of what it represents (quite the converse) but its very existence ... The Photograph then becomes a bizarre (i)medium(i), a new form of hallucination: false on the level of perception, true on the level of time: a temporal hallucination, so to speak, a modest (o)shared(i) hallucination (on the one hand 'it is not there,' on the other 'but it has indeed been'): a mad image, chafed by reality.” IfsHandsRealityFormSpeakLevelsExistenceFiguresPerceptionEvidenceMadPhotographMediumsModestBizarreLoadedConversesHallucinations Author:Roland Barthes

“If a tablet is not wiped clean of it's figures, nothing can be written upon it. A single heart cannot serve as the place for two things, let alone for several things. If the heart is filled with the forms of sensory perceptions, it is rare that it would perceive the meaning of Allah, even if one were to say Allah a thousand times. When the heart is empty of all that is other-than-God, if one uttered Allah only once, one would find such bliss that the tongue could not describe.” IfsHeartTwoFormWrittenFiguresThousandPerceptionEmptyFilledCleanTonguePerceiveBlissTwo ThingsEmptinessSensoryTabletsSensory Perception Author:Ibn Ata Allah
“Objects and their functions no longer had any significance. All I perceived was perception itself, the hell of forms and figures devoid of human emotion and detached from the reality of my unreal environment. I was an instrument in a virtual world that constantly renewed its own meaningless image in a living world that was itself perceived outside of nature. And since the appearance of things was no longer definitive but limitless, this paradisiacal awareness freed me from the reality external to myself. The fire and the rose, as it were, became one.” WorldHumansRealityFormEmotionHellEnvironmentFireAwarenessFiguresObjectsPerceptionFunctionInstrumentsRoseAppearanceSignificanceMeaninglessLimitlessUnrealDetachedVirtual RealityHuman EmotionsVirtual World Book:I'm a born liar: a Fellini lexicon Source: I'm a born liar: a Fellini lexicon
