“Humour very often consists of shrewd perceptions about people. It's usually fun at someone's expense. Nowadays if you're funny at anybody's expense they run to the UN and say, "I must have an ombudsman to protect me." You hardly dare have a shrewd perception about anybody.” PeopleIfsRunningFunHumourProtectPerceptionDareExpenses Author:Robertson Davies
“When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,--when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?” FeelsShouldYearsTwoSoulRunningFireInfluenceMinesDegreesPerceptionShould IPlatoEgyptianHueLatitudeTwo Souls Book:The Annotated Emerson Source: The Annotated Emerson

“What we need more of is slow art: art that holds time as a vase holds water: art that grows out of modes of perception and making whose skill and doggedness make you think and feel; art that isn’t merely sensational, that doesn’t get its message across in ten seconds, that isn’t falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our natures.

“Everybody remembers numbers and computers remember numbers. People remember procedures and computers certainly remember procedures. But the other thing that's still important is that your perception as a human is affected subtly by all this stuff that you can't quite articulate. You run your life according to all this stuff that's happened to you. All of your memories affect everything you do whereas with a computer, there's adaptive software and things, but it's more literal.” PeopleHumansStillsImportantRunningRememberStuffMemoriesNumbersHappenedComputerPerceptionAffectedSoftwareProceduresOur MemoriesLiteralAdaptive Author:Bill Nye
“This is the hallmark of a robust biological system: political parties can perish in a tragic accident and the society will still run, sometimes with little more than a hiccup to the system. It may be that for every strange clinical case in which brain damage leads to a bizarre change in behavior or perception, there are hundreds of cases in which parts of the brain are damaged with no detectable clinical sign.” MayLittlesStillsSometimesRunningPoliticalPartyBrainCasesStrangeBehaviorPerceptionAccidentsDamageTragicBizarrePolitical PartiesRobustHallmarkClinicalsHiccupsTragic Accidents Author:David Eagleman
“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
“There is more and more data that the biological molecules of aging are more under the influence of psychological factors than the chronological age that we usually associate with. Of course there are other things that influence our aging process, including how we perceive time. If you're constantly running out of time, then your biological clock speeds up, and you do run out of time with a heart attack or something like that. The quality of our self-esteem determines how we age. Our perception of our bodies as fields of energy or fields of matter influence how our body ages.” HeartRunningAgeEnergyQualityInfluencePerceptionAgingDetermineSpeedPsychologicalClockPerceiveHeart Attack Author:Deepak Chopra
“The themes that run through all my work are that consciousness is the ultimate reality; and that by understanding consciousness, you understand everything about yourself, about perception, about creativity, about behavior, about relationships. By understanding consciousness, you have the ability to create anything in your world. And you have the ability to influence also the collective consciousness to not only bring about personal healing, but social transformation, and ultimately healing our planet, which happens to be extremely wounded.” WorldRealityRunningUnderstandingAbilityHealingConsciousnessCreativityInfluenceBehaviorPerceptionUltimateTransformationAbout Yourself Author:Deepak Chopra

“Women have to work much harder to make it in this world. It really pisses me off that women don't get the same opportunities as men do, or money for that matter. Because lets face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define our values and to define what's sexy and what's feminine and that's bullshit.
