“Pete Townsend for me was a huge influence. Because essentially they were a three-piece band and the way he structured his chords and took up a lot of space musically in the songs was really important to the way Rush developed. Geddy and Neil both were such active players and lot of the time we were all playing like crazy and it was too much and somebody had to reel it in and me being the faceless guy, I would do that.” WayImportantGuySongThreeSpaceToo MuchPiecesPlayerCrazyInfluenceHugeBandActiveChordsFaceless Author:Alex Lifeson
“Whatever is placed beyond the reach of sense and knowledge, whatever is imperfectly discerned, the fancy pieces out at its leisure; and all but the present moment, but the present spot, passion claims for its own, and brooding over it with wings outspread, stamps it with an image of itself. Passion is lord of infinite space, and distant objects please because they border on its confines and are moulded by its touch.” MomentsPassionSpaceLordPiecesObjectsPleaseClaimsInfiniteWingsSpotsBordersFancyOver ItPresent MomentLeisureStampsBroodingInfinite Space Book:Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated)

“[Electronic newspapers will bring] plenty of ulcers for journalists because they'll have new deadlines every 60 seconds. It'll be a race to file.

“To speak technically photography is the art of writing with light. But if I want to think about it more philosophically, I can say that photography is the art of writing with time. When you capture an image you capture not only a piece of space, you also capture a piece of time. So you have this piece of specific time in your square or rectangle. In that sense I find that photography has more to do with time than with light.” IfsThinkingWantWritingArtI CanLightSpeakSpacePiecesPhotographyPhotographCaptureSquaresArt Of WritingRectangles Author:Gerardo Suter

“It is sometimes said that one of the casualties of the general suspicion and mistrust that permeated the old Soviet Union was that the distinction between truth and other motivations to believe tended to break down. Upon hearing a purported piece of information, the reaction was not 'Is this true?' but 'Why is this person saying this? - What machinations or manipulations are going on here?' The question of truth did not, as it were, have the social space in which it could breath.” BelievePersonsSaidSometimesMotivationSocialSpaceBreakPiecesInformationBreathsUnionsHearingReactionsDistinctionManipulationSovietSuspicionSoviet UnionBreaking DownMistrustCasualtiesAbsolutism Author:Simon Blackburn
“For interiors, if you have a basic sofa, you can add fun throw pillows, and cool lighting to make the space more interesting.

“You're treated as though you're just a piece of meat, and you're there for consumption by men. I feel like the common thing is men feeling entitled to treat you how they want to treat you.

“As a writer, you know what the purpose of the scene is. It really has nothing to do with the actor so you have to really get out of that space because for actors it's a micro-focus and then you figure out your arc through what the writers have given you to say. But that arc is just one little piece of the huge arc of the whole film.

“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.

“You come to the photograph as an aesthetic object with no context... Then you step in and read the text and then out again to revisit the image in a completely different way.

“I felt that there's an obligation when writing a piece about an urban expressway made in the 50s to acknowledge the context, and Robert Moses is sort of an iconic figure in New York, and he influenced the shape of the city more than anyone else before or after him.
