“Talks on art are almost useless. The work which goes to bring progress in one's own subject is sufficient compensation for the incomprehension of imbeciles.” ArtUnderstandingProgressSubjectsUselessSufficientCompensationImbecilesIncomprehension Author:Paul Cezanne

“It is often asserted that as woman has always been man's slave--subject--inferior--dependent, under all forms of government and religion, slavery must be her normal condition. This might have some weight had not the vast majority of men also been enslaved for centuries to kings and popes, and orders of nobility, who, in the progress of civilization, have reached complete equality.” MenGovernmentMightFormOrderWomenProgressConditionsSubjectsCenturyKingsCivilizationNormalWeightSlaveryMajoritySlaveDependentInferiorsPopeNobilityForms Of Government Author:Susan B.

“The effects of heat are subject to constant laws which cannot be discovered without the aid of mathematical analysis. The object of the theory is to demonstrate these laws; it reduces all physical researches on the propagation of heat, to problems of the integral calculus, whose elements are given by experiment. No subject has more extensive relations with the progress of industry and the natural sciences; for the action of heat is always present, it influences the processes of the arts, and occurs in all the phenomena of the universe.” ArtProblemActionLawUniverseGivenProcessNaturalProgressInfluenceSubjectsEffectsObjectsTheoryIndustryElementsResearchRelationConstantAidsExperimentsMathematicalAnalysisHeatCalculusNatural SciencePropagationMathematical AnalysisIntegral Calculus Author:Joseph Fourier
“Progress is slow partly from mere intellectual inertia. In a subject where there is no agreed procedure for knocking out errors, doctrines have a long life. A professor teaches what he was taught, and his pupils, with a proper respect and reverence for teachers, set up a resistance against his critics for no other reason than that it was he whose pupils they were.” LongReasonTeachTeacherProgressSubjectsTaughtIntellectualErrorsMereCriticsResistanceDoctrineProfessorsReverenceLong LifeProceduresPupilsKnockingInertia Author:Joan Robinson
“If society is to progress on a truly humanistic basis, without being subject to mental epidemics and virulent social diseases to which the subconscious falls an easy victim, the personal consciousness of every individual should be cultivated to the highest degree possible.” IfsShouldFallIndividualSocialEasyConsciousnessProgressSubjectsDiseaseDegreesHighestBasesVictimSubconsciousEpidemicsHumanistic Author:Boris Sidis

“As an element in human progress, the right of private property, in importance, has taken first and almost only place in the current systems of law and of political economy. While admitting its great importance, we cannot conceal the fact that the writers on those subjects have wholly failed to distinguish between its use and its abuse, or to recognize its rational and equitable limits.” FirstsHumansFactsUseLawPoliticalEconomyTakenProgressSubjectsLimitsElementsAbuseImportancePropertyCurrentsRationalPrivate PropertyAdmittingHuman ProgressEquitablePolitical Economy Author:Joshua K.

“Woman has so long been subject to the disabilities and restrictions with which her progress has been embarrassed that she has become enervated, her mind to some extent paralyzed; and like those still more degraded by personal bondage she hugs her chains.” MindLongHas BeensStillsProgressSubjectsChainsDisabilityHugEmbarrassedBondageRestrictionParalyzed Author:Lucretia Mott
“They are, in a sense, two sides of the same coin: women are, on the one hand, subjects of an extremely real and abject (as Julia Kristeva put it) body and denigrated sexuality; on the other, the proliferation of images, and their digitalisation produces more and more abstract and air-brushed representations of impossible female bodies. Both indicate, certainly, a "lack of progress." But, one hopes, discussions and resistance are emerging in response.” TwoRealBodyHandsSidesProgressImpossibleAirSubjectsProduceFemaleResponseSexualityResistanceDiscussionAbstractRepresentationCoinsEmergingTwo SidesJuliaProliferationFemale Body Author:Laura Mulvey
“All religious systems enslave the mind.
