“Ever since I can remember I’ve had positive and negative fan reviews. And whether it was positive or negative it wasn’t always based in reality or what my perception of the music was. But judging from playing these new songs live and my feelings on the record [Scream] – and it’s a great record – there is definitely an audience for it. Also, I don’t really go to clubs so I don’t know what sounds are made there.” KnowsMadeI CanFeelingsRealityRememberSongSoundAudienceRecordsFansJudgingPerceptionNegativeClubsReviewsScreamNew Songs Author:Chris Cornell
“The function of criticism is the reeducation of perception of works of art? The conception that its business is to appraise, to judge in the legal and moral sense, arrests the perception of those who are influenced by the criticism that assumes this task.” ArtMoralJudgingPerceptionTasksCriticismFunctionAssumingWorks Of ArtConceptionAppraise Author:John Dewey
“We properly judge a critic's virtue not by his freedom from error but by the nature of the mistakes he does make, for he makes them, if he is worth reading, because he has in mind something besides his perceptions about art in itself - he has in mind the demands that he makes upon life.” IfsMindDoeArtReadingMistakeVirtueJudgingDemandPerceptionErrorsCriticsWorth Reading Author:Lionel Trilling
“Intuitive cognition of a thing is cognition that enables us to know whether the thing exists or does not exist, in such a way that, if the thing exists, then the intellect immediately judges that it exists and evidently knows that it exists, unless the judgment happens to be impeded through the imperfection of this cognition.” IfsKnowsWayDoeHappensJudgingJudgmentPerceptionIntuitionIntellectImperfectionIntuitiveCognition Book:Philosophical Writings: A Selection Source: Philosophical Writings: A Selection
“I get very surprised and shocked because there is so much prejudice against me as a celebrity, instead of them looking at the quality of my work. Just look at the work. Forget about who I am. But there is so much perception in the art business that blurs that insight. The work speaks, so just look and then judge from there.” ArtSpeakForgetQualityJudgingPerceptionPrejudiceInsightBlur Author:Michael Chow
“I think the function of suffering is to let me know that my perception is skewed; what I’m doing is judging natural events in such a way that I am creating suffering within myself. For instance, you have pain over certain conditions, certain situations that occur. And if you just say ‘ok, here I am, I’m going to experience the pain,’ you don’t suffer. The resistance and the degree of the resistance to the natural phenomenon of life causes tremendous suffering.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayPainCertainSufferingCausesNaturalSituationConditionsEventsJudgingDegreesPerceptionCreatingLet MeFunctionResistanceInstancePhenomenonHere I AmNatural Phenomena Author:Hubert Selby, Jr.
“This result could have been achieved either by his [God] endowing my intellect with a clear and distinct perception of everything about which I would ever deliberate, or simply by impressing the following rule so firmly upon my memory that I could never forget it: I should never judge anything that I do not clearly and distinctly understand.” ShouldHas BeensMemoriesForgetResultsClearJudgingPerceptionFollowingIntellectNever ForgetImpressDeliberateCould Have BeenForget ItFollowing Rules Book:Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy Source: Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy
