“I like the idea that within the structure of the song, some kind of built-in improvisation keeps them fragile and in their moment, so that I'm not projecting so much, so that my perception of the song doesn't interfere with what its real body is. Sometimes it's like telling a story that I heard in passing, and I don't want it to become completely mine.” WantKindIdeasRealSometimesMomentsStoriesBodySongHeardMinesPerceptionBuiltStructurePassingPassingsFragileInterfereImprovisation Author:Ryan Adams

“People have these perceptions; maybe they've been here for a day, or have only heard about it. It was like when I first came to work here. You want to see the clean city that is always talked about, how nice the people are, the restaurants, the vibe, how diverse the city is. That's what we want to show: what an enjoyable city it is, what a great city it is.

“In the traditionally taught view of perception, data from the sensorium pours into the brain, works its way up the sensory hierarchy, and makes itself seen, heard, smelled, tasted, felt - "perceived." But a closer examination of the data suggests this is incorrect. The brain is properly thought of as a mostly closed system that runs on its own internally generated activity.” WayRunningFeltViewsBrainHeardTaughtActivityPerceptionDataHierarchyExaminationSensory Book:Incognito: The Secret Lives of The Brain Source: Incognito: The Secret Lives of The Brain
“The Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel dined with me, and I asked them how they dared so roundly to assert, that God spoke to them; and whether they did not think at the time, that they would be misunderstood, & so be the cause of imposition. Isaiah answer'd, I saw no God, nor heard any, in a finite organical perception; but my senses discover'd the infinite in every thing, and as I was then persuaded, & remain confirm'd; that the voice of honest indignation is the voice of God, I cared not for consequences but wrote.” ThinkingWould BeCausesVoiceAnswersSawsHeardHonestPerceptionConsequenceInfiniteSensesProphetSpokesFiniteMisunderstoodIndignationVoice Of GodImpositionEzekiel Author:William Blake
“This is the awe-inspiring universe of magic: There are no atoms, only waves and motions all around. Here, you discard all belief in barriers to understanding. You put aside understanding itself. This universe cannot be seen, cannot be heard, cannot be detected in any way by fixed perceptions. It is the ultimate void where no preordained screens occur upon which forms may be projected. You have only one awareness here—the screen of the magi: Imagination! Here, you learn what it is to be human. You are a creator of order, of beautiful shapes and systems, an organizer of chaos.” WayHumansMayBeautifulFormOrderUniverseBeliefUnderstandingImaginationMagicHeardAwarenessShapesPerceptionUltimateChaosWaveCreatorScreensFixedAweBarriersAtomsVoidOrganizerAwe InspiringUnderstanding You Author:Frank Herbert

“What is this world condition? Body is the world condition. And with body and form goes feeling, perception, consciousness, and all the activities throughout the world.

“The individuals inside are frequently fighting that their individual voices be heard, while the walls of the place, which are the mask, and the perception, are reluctant to give over to the voices of the individuals. Those in the margins are always trying to get to the center, and those at the center, frequently in the name of tradition, are trying to keep the margins at a distance. Part of the identity of a place is the tension between those in the margins, and those in the center, and they all live behind the walls which wear the tradition.” GivingTryingFightingNamesIndividualVoiceBehindsHeardIdentityWallPerceptionTraditionDistanceTensionMaskMarginsAlways TryingReluctant Author:Anna Deavere Smith
