“The main trouble with avant-garde art and literature, from the point of view of fascists and Stalinists, is not that they are too critical, but that they are too "innocent," that it is too difficult to inject effective propaganda, that kitsch is more pliable to this end.” ArtEndsLiteratureDifficultViewsTroubleCriticalPoint Of ViewInnocentPropagandaFascistsAvant GardeKitschAvant Garde Art Book:Art and Culture: Critical Essays Source: Art and Culture: Critical Essays

“Question of "Where We Begin" turns to be not only a formal question but also a question central to the attempt to make sense of things about which it is very difficult to make any sense - illness, death, despair, suicides, cruelty, the various troubles love can provoke, our inability to really know one another when we our inner selves are walled off by our bodies.” KnowsSelfBodyTurnsDifficultTroubleDespairSuicideIllnessVariousCrueltyMake SenseProvokingFormalInabilityInner Self Author:Kyle Minor
“I find it interesting to see people - mostly people who are younger than I am - going to considerable trouble to try to reproduce things from an era that was far more physical, from a less virtual day. That fascinates me, because it seems to be symbolic of something going on in the culture itself, and I also have a sort of innate admiration for the stubbornness it requires to actually make those things physically. It's become incredibly difficult. In North America, we've largely forgotten how to do it.” PeopleTryingSeemsAmericaCultureDifficultInterestingTroubleForgottenErasAdmirationInnateSymbolicNorth AmericaStubbornness Author:William Gibson
“Adolescents' immature thinking makes it difficult for them to process the divorce. They tend to see things in black-and-white terms and have trouble putting events into perspective. They are absolute in their judgments and expect perfection in parents. They are likely to be self-conscious about their parent's failures and critical of their every move. They have the expectations that parents will keep them safe and happy and are shocked by the broken covenant.

“One of the most difficult features of direct experience is that it is unfiltered by any theories or expectations. It's hard to observe without imposing a theory to explain what we're seeing, but the trouble with theories, as Einstein said, is that they explain not only what is observed, but what can be observed. We start to build expectations based on our theories.” SaidHardDifficultSeeingTroubleTheoryExpectationsDirectFeaturesImposing Author:Michael Crichton

“What we see as risk and foolhardiness on the outside, can seem more like constant cohesive drive on the inside that holds to priorities that cannot be discerned by others, because they reside in far too private a chamber of personal experience to be shared easily.
