“We come here because we too feel a responsibility for the human community. To preserve and develop a human quality of life is the common responsibility of us all. It is not fitting that those concerned with the various aspects of the human be alienated from each other. Both you and ourselves represent forces too profound and aim at objectives too significant for either of us to succeed completely without the assistance of the other. The urgency of our work impels us to get on with our common task lest a new period of disaster erupt over the Earth.” FeelsHumansEarthLife IsForceCommunityCommonQualityResponsibilityPeriodsSucceedConcernedAspectTasksAimProfoundVariousDisasterSignificantObjectivesPreservesAssistanceQuality Of LifeFittingUrgencyHuman QualitiesNot Fitting Author:Thomas Berry
“Einstein's space is no closer to reality than Van Gogh's sky . The glory of science is not in a truth more absolute than the truth of Bach or Tolstoy, but in the act of creation itself. The scientist's discoveries impose his own order on chaos, as the composer or painter imposes his; an order that always refers to limited aspects of reality, and is based on the observer's frame of reference, which differs from period to period as a Rembrant nude differs from a nude by Manet.” RealityOrderSpaceSkyCreationPeriodsGloryDiscoveryAspectScientistAbsolutesChaosPainterComposerObserversVansFrame Of Reference Book:The Act of Creation Source: The Act of Creation
“There is a period in one's life - perhaps not longer than six months - when one lives in two worlds at once ... It is the time when one has freshly learned to read. The Word, till then a denominating aspect of the Thing, has suddenly become detached from it and is perceived as a glittering entity, transparent and unseizable as a jellyfish, yet able to create an independent world that is both more recondite and more instantaneously convincing than the world one knew before.” WorldTwoAbleReadingMonthsPeriodsSixAspectIndependentEntitySix MonthsConvincingTransparentDetachedTwo WorldsJellyfish Author:Sylvia Townsend Warner
“We live in a trans period. Contemporary issues of sexuality, for example - the exciting aspects of them - have to do with transgenderedness. And there's trans-nationality.

And I'm not alone in being between things.” PeopleMeanIssuesExamplePeriodsAspectExcitingSexualityContemporaryLike MeIndianNot AloneNationalityTrans Author:Vijay Seshadri
“The durational aspect of video art is very different from photography or sculpture. The idea of looping things interferes with that a little bit.

“One of the points where the art world is at its most metaphysical is in this weird aspect of the power of the expert. There are experts who claim they cannot be fooled because they have an inner connection to an artist and can feel whether something is genuine or fake. I've heard experts say, on panels: When it comes to my period, or my painters, I cannot be fooled. And of course that's completely ridiculous.” WorldFeelsArtArtistCoursesHeardPeriodsAspectConnectionsClaimsRidiculousGenuinePainterFakeExpertsMetaphysicalFooledArt World Author:Daniel Kehlmann
“Perhaps unsurprisingly, there's a paradox here! Kierkegaard's own indirect communication proposes that we start with the experience of those who don't believe and meet them on their own ground. His success in doing this is evidenced by the fact that, at least for some periods of the 20th century, aspects of his work became a major focus for radical thinkers of various kinds, including the non-religious and, interestingly, a significant number of Jewish thinkers (Buber, Rosenzweig, Taubes, and others).” BelieveKindFactsReligiousNumbersFocusCenturyCommunicationPeriodsMajorsAspectDon't BelieveIncludingVariousSignificantRadicalParadoxThinker20th CenturyProposeIndirectSignificant NumbersNon Religious Author:George Pattison
“I had to imagine myself into certain aspects of [Julian Assange] character for our version of events. That involved extrapolating based on clues in his biography, his public persona, photographs, and other accounts of him by people who encountered him during that extraordinary period from 2007 to 2010 that we charted in the film [The Fifth Estate]. So, it involved a lot of research but, sadly, no contact with the man himself.” PeopleMenCharacterFilmCertainImagineEventsHe ManInvolvedPeriodsResearchAspectAccountsExtraordinaryPhotographVersionsContactEstatesBiographiesClueFifthPersonaAssange Author:Benedict Cumberbatch
“There are many aspects about what and why we photograph: visual pleasure, personal empathy, intellectual stimulation, technical excellence, etc. Serious photographers and artists will try to create works that are original.
