“Freedom is neither a legal invention nor a philosophical conquest, the cherished possession of civilizations more valid than others because they alone have been able to create or preserve it. It is the outcome of an objective relationship between the individual and the space he occupies, between the consumer and the resources at his disposal.” Has BeensAbleIndividualSpaceCivilizationResourcesPhilosophicalPossessionInventionObjectivesConsumersPreservesOutcomesConquest Book:Tristes Tropiques Source: Tristes Tropiques
“Language is inherently not concerned with logic. As an expression of the psychological activities of humankind, it simply follows a linear process as it seeks actualisation. Moreover, it does not obey the objective concepts of time and space that belong to the physical world. When the discussion of time and space is imported into linguistic art from scientific aims and research methods, that linguistic art is entirely reduced to trifling pseudo-philosophical issues.” WorldDoeArtLanguageProcessSpaceIssuesExpressionActivityResearchArt IsConceptsConcernedLogicPhilosophicalAimMethodObjectivesPsychologicalDiscussionHumankindTime And SpaceLinearPseudoTriflingConcept Of Time Author:Gao Xingjian
“It is amazing that 2001: A Space Odyssey has not aged at all, except for a few minor technical gadgets. The main reason is, of course, the philosophical or spiritual element in this story. We know as little today about the secrets of Creation and evolution as we knew before, and it is not likely that we'll ever know much more. We'll have to be satisfied, as Kubrick was, respectfully admiring the potential for evolution within the mystery of the universe's creation.” KnowsLittlesReasonStoriesTodaySpiritualUniverseCoursesSpaceSecretMysteryCreationEvolutionElementsPhilosophicalSatisfiedMinorsGadgetsAdmiringOdysseyCreation And EvolutionSpace Odyssey2001 A Space Odyssey Author:Jan Harlan
“The media - and I'm not blaming them - obviously like to seize on the differences between people and, sure, there are some senior members of the government who are in a slightly different philosophical space to mine.

“When Apollo 13 appeared as an opportunity and I began to tackle that in as authentic a way as I possibly could, I really became enthralled by the philosophical side of space travel, and why we need to explore - what it means to us here on Earth - all of those things. I became a huge proponent.” WayNeedsMeanEarthOpportunitySidesSpaceHugePhilosophicalApolloSpace TravelApollo 13 Author:Ron Howard
“Music expresses feeling, that is to say, gives shape and habitation to feeling, not in space but in time. To the extent that music has a history that is more than a history of its formal evolution, our feelings must have a history too. Perhaps certain qualities of feeling that found expression in music can be recorded by being notated on paper, have become so remote that we can no longer inhabit them as feelings, can get a grasp of them only after long training in the history and philosophy of music, the philosophical history of music, the history of music as a history of the feeling soul.” GivingLongSoulPhilosophyFeelingsCertainFoundSpaceQualityExpressionEvolutionShapesPaperTrainingPhilosophicalFormalHistory Of Music Author:J.

“Natura nihil agit frustra [Nature does nothing in vain] is the only indisputible axiom in philosophy. There are no grotesques in nature; not any thing framed to fill up empty cantons, and unncecessary spaces.” DoePhilosophyScienceNatureSpaceEmptyPhilosophicalVainAxiomsFramed Author:Thomas Browne
“In the next few galactic seconds, the fate of the universe will be decided.

“With all the weird surroundings of outer space the basic underlying theme of the show is a philosophical approach to man's relationship to woman.

“In the first place a philosophical proposition must be general. It must not deal specially with things on the surface of the earth, or within the solar system, or with any other portion of space and time. . . . This brings us to a second characteristic of philosophical propositions, namely that they must be a priori. A philosophical proposition must be such as can neither be proved nor disproved by empirical evidence. . . . Philosophy, if what has been said is correct, becomes indistinguishable from logic as that word has now come to be used.” IfsFirstsHas BeensSaidPhilosophyEarthUsedTimeSpaceDealsEvidenceLogicPhilosophicalSurfaceCharacteristicsPortionsPropositionsTime And SpaceSolar SystemEmpirical Evidence Author:Bertrand Russell
“The future. Space travel, or cosmology. Alternate universes. Time travel. Robots. Marvelous inventions. Immortality. Catastrophes. Aliens. Superman. Other dimensions. Inner space, or the psyche.

“I love to revel in philosophical matters-especially astronomy. I study astronomy more than any other foolishness there is. I am a perfect slave to it. I am at it all the time. I have got more smoked glass than clothes. I am as familiar with the stars as the comets are. I know all the facts and figures and have all the knowledge there is concerning them. I yelp astronomy like a sun-dog, and paw the constellations like Ursa Major.” KnowsMatterFactsStarsSpacePerfectSunStudyDogFiguresMajorsClothesPhilosophicalSlaveGlassesAstronomyFamiliarFoolishnessConstellationsStar GazingPawsComets Book:The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain Source: The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain
