“Accurate drawing, accurate colour, is perhaps not the essential thing to aim at, because the reflection of reality in a mirror, if it could be caught, colour and all, would not be a picture at all, no more than a photograph.” IfsRealityEssentialsReflectionMirrorsAimPhotographCaughtDrawingColourAccurateRealism Book:Delphi Complete Works of Vincent van Gogh (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Vincent van Gogh (Illustrated)
“I would say that introverts make some of the best international philosophers. The less common attribute of the introverted lifestyle - a close societal connection, as such a connection disappears or changes in relevance as the currents of the winds change - leaves too much room for one's own cultural bias. Instead, introverts tend to turn inward, the laboratory of being and all its forms. This is the most accurate study of the individual human being, which is in turn, rather than those affected by cultural limitations, the most universal reflection of human understanding and human behavior.” HumansFormTurnsIndividualUnderstandingHuman BeingsRoomsCommonStudyToo MuchWindBehaviorReflectionConnectionsUniversalInternationalPhilosopherCurrentsDisappearLifestyleLimitationAffectedAttributesAccurateBiasInwardIntrovertHuman BehaviorLaboratoryRelevanceIntroverted Author:Criss Jami
“Genes which allow females to be less inhibited leave fewer copies of themselves than genes which persuade them to remain highly selective. Among males, the best strategy is exactly the opposite one. The maximum advantage goes to those males with the fewest inhibitions. "Love 'em and leave 'em" is not so much a nasty peice of male chauvinist piggery as an accurate reflection of biological reality.” RealityReflectionAdvantageFemaleOppositesStrategyMalesEmsCopiesFewerGenesAccurateNastyMaximumSelectiveInhibitionsMale Chauvinist Author:Lyall Watson

“Whether at work, at home or in public, we have been trained to believe that who we are at the core of our being is often unacceptable. As a result, we work diligently to live up to - and sometimes down to - what others have made us out to be, whether or not it is an accurate reflection of who we are.” BelieveHas BeensMadeSometimesHomeResultsReflectionCoreWho We AreAccurate Author:Iyanla Vanzant
“The literal record was not a hopelessly and imperfect fraction of truly insensible gradation within large populations but an accurate reflection of the actual process identified by evolutionists as the chief motor of biological change. The theory of punctuated equilibrium was, in its initial formulation, little more than this insight adumbrated.” LittlesProcessRecordsTheoryEvolutionReflectionPopulationInsightChiefsImperfectAccurateInitialsMotorLiteralFractionsEquilibriumInsensible Author:Stephen Jay Gould
“We have three approaches at our disposal: the observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation serves to assemble the data, reflection to synthesise them and experimentation to test the results of the synthesis. The observation of nature must be assiduous, just as reflection must be profound, and experimentation accurate. These three approaches are rarely found together, which explains why creative geniuses are so rare.” TogetherScienceThreeFoundResultsCreativeGeniusApproachReflectionTestsProfoundExperimentsObservationDataAccurateExperimentationSynthesisCreative Genius Author:John Dewey
“Thus we can get the correct answer for the probability of partial reflection by imagining (falsely) that all reflection comes from only the front and back surfaces. In this intuitively easy analysis, the 'front surface' and 'back surface' arrows are mathematical constructions that give us the right answer, whereas .... a more accurate representation of what is really going on: partial reflection is the scattering of light by electrons inside the glass.” GivingLightEasyAnswersFrontsReflectionMathematicsGlassesSurfaceMathematicalAnalysisConstructionAccurateRepresentationProbabilityArrowsElectronsRight Answers Author:Richard P.

“Sometimes the picture someone else paints of us is a more accurate portrayal than a reflection. What we see in the mirror is always reversed.
