“Certainly, for a newspaper director, to have within arm's reach a Travaglio, about whom every starring actor, supporting cast and extra of Italian political life he is ready upon cold request to provide an inquiry brief refined in the most minute details is a nice comfort. But also a bit unsettling. The day I asked him if in that archive, into which no one is allowed to stick their nose, there were a brief with my name on it, Marco changed the subject.” IfsPoliticalActorsNamesBitsNiceMinutesSubjectsChangedReadyArmsColdComfortDirectorsSticksCastsDetailsNewspapersNosesExtrasItalianInquiryRequestRefinedMarcosArchivesPolitical Life Author:Indro Montanelli
“Nothing can be more unphilosophical than to be positive or dogmatical on any subject; and even if excessive scepticism could be maintained it would not be more destructive to all just reasoning and inquiry. When men are the most sure and arrogant, they are commonly the most mistaken, and have there given reins to passion, without that proper deliberation and suspense which can alone secure them from the grossest absurdities.” IfsMenPassionGivenSubjectsSecureSuspenseReasoningDestructiveArrogantAbsurdityMistakenInquiryBeing PositiveReinsDeliberationDogmatismScepticism Book:An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding: Revision of Great Book Source: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding: Revision of Great Book
“There has never been a book like this. At once a poetics of place, a work of deep history, a bildungsroman, and an acute inquiry into the big subjects: love, family, other animals, the nature of creativity. It is sublime. It's also very funny. Haunting and haunted, Hold Still is the memoir of an artist that is art itself.” ArtStillsBookBigsArtistAnimalCreativitySubjectsMemoirSublimeInquiryHauntingFamily Love Author:Melissa Holbrook Pierson
“In shows where the audience wants to try to understand the work, the work is placed in a space of possibility where it becomes a subject of inquiry rather than being subject to conclusive interpretations. This is the gift I receive when I go abroad.” WantTryingShowsSpaceAudienceSubjectsPossibilityInterpretationInquiry Author:Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook
