“Thank God for that. You can shut them, say, 'Hold on a moment.' You play God to it. But who has ever torn himself from the claw that encloses you when you drop a seed in a TV parlour? It grows you any shape it wishes! It is an environment as real as the world. It becomes and is the truth. Books can be beaten down with reason. But with all my knowledge and scepticism, I have never been able to argue with a one-hundred-piece symphony orchestra, full colour, three dimensions, and I being in and part of those incredible parlours.” WorldBookRealReasonPlayMomentsAbleThreeWishGrowsEnvironmentPiecesTvsShapesHundredIncrediblesSeedsArguingColourDimensionsThank GodBeatenTornOrchestraSymphonyClawsScepticismKnowledge And PowerThree DimensionsSymphony Orchestras Author:Ray Bradbury
“My monumental netted sculptural environments move through time, animated by an ever-changing 'wind choreography,' making invisible air currents suddenly visible to the human eye.

“John Marks Templeton has achieved exemplary success in both business and philanthropy. For Looking Forward he has assembled a diverse and remarkable group of experts in their fields-including the environment, medicine, the physical sciences, religion, the family, and international relations-and contributed two stellar pieces as well. Together these essays dispel fashionable pessimism and show how the world can progress-and is progressing-toward a better future.” WorldWellsTwoShowsTogetherEnvironmentPiecesProgressGroupsFieldsMarkRelationMedicineIncludingInternationalExpertsRemarkablePessimismDiversePhilanthropyEssaysLooking ForwardFashionableInternational RelationsBetter FutureScience ReligionPhysical ScienceExemplaryStellar Author:Rupert Murdoch
“Every piece of remotely responsible research that has been done in the last 20 years on this issue has shown there is no difference between children who are raised by same-sex parents and children who are raised by opposite-sex parents.

“I, and all the complex things around me, exist only because many things were assembled in a very precise way. The 'emergent' properties are not magical. They are really there and eventually they may start re-arranging the environments that generated them. But they don't exist 'in' the bits and pieces that made them; they emerge from the arrangement of those bits and pieces in very precise ways. And that is also true of the emergent entities known as "you" and "me".” WayMayMadeBitsKnownEnvironmentPiecesPropertyComplexesEntityArrangementsPreciseArrangingBits And Pieces Author:David Christian
“I love the psychological thriller piece of it. Because we are trapped in this isolated environment with a deadly virus, what's really interesting is that everyone's darkness comes out because we've got these life-and-death stakes going on. And then, there're these interesting relationships going on, but we can't quite deal with the relationship right now because we've got something better to do, which is survive.” InterestingDealsDarknessEnvironmentPiecesRight NowPsychologicalLife And DeathStakesIsolatedTrappedSomething BetterVirusesReally InterestingThrillersPsychological Thrillers Author:Kyra Zagorsky
“One time, I threw a candy wrapper on the street. I was with a friend who said to me, You just littered on the street! Don't you care about the environment? And I thought about it, and I said, You know what? This isn't the environment. This is New York City. New York City is not the environment. New York City is a giant piece of litter. Next to Mexico City, it's the shittiest piece of litter in the world. Just a pussy, runny, smokin', stinkin' piece of litter.” KnowsWorldSaidCareNextCitiesEnvironmentPiecesStreetsNew YorkGiantsNew York CityOne TimeMexicoCandyPussyMexico City Author:Louis C. K.
“My first pieces, in an art context, were ways to get myself off the page and into real space. These photographic pieces were ways to, literally, throw myself into my environment. They were photographs not of an activity, but through an activity; the activity (once I planted a camera in the instrument of that activity - once I, simply, held a camera in my hands) could produce a picture.” WayFirstsArtRealHandsSpaceEnvironmentPiecesProduceActivityPagesCamerasInstrumentsPhotograph Author:Vito Acconci
