The movie, by sheer speeding up of the mechanical, carried us from the world of sequence and connections into the world of creative configurations and structure.
Marshall McLuhan
Image
Typographic man can express but is helpless to read the configurations of print technology.
Marshall McLuhan
Image
How can I appreciate light from an aging sun shining through new configurations neither pine nor ash? How can I extol the nuturing fragrances from the spires, the spicules of a landscape not yet formed or seeded?
Pattiann Rogers
Image
I am interested in what I term gestalts picture circumstances which bring together disparate images or ideas so as to form new meanings and new configurations.
Robert Heinecken
Image
A shudder runs through the viewer of old photographs. For they make visible not the knowledge of the original but the spatial configuration of a moment what appears in the photograph is not the person but the sum of what can be subtracted from him or her.
Siegfried Kracauer
Image
Public postures have the configuration of private derangement.
Tom Stoppard
Image
Liminality may perhaps be regarded as the Nay to all positive structural assertions, but as in some sense the source of them all, and, more than that, as a realm of pure possibility whence novel configurations of ideas and relations may arise
Victor Turner
Image
When drawings of the main buildings I have designed in the last five years are juxtaposed, the fact that they all involve the pursuit of certain configurations is obvious to anyone.
Yoshio Taniguchi
Image
Contemplate the wonders of creation, the Divine dimension of their being, not as a dim configuration that is presented to you from a distance, but as the reality in which you live.

Our advanced art approaches a fragile but marvelous life, one that maintains itself by a mere thread, melting into an elusive, changeable configuration, the surroundings, the artist, his work and everyone who comes to it.
Allan Kaprow

Get up, Imogen, and get yourself ready for battle. From now on, the orders around here are going to come from me. And the first thing you're going to do is free my son from that accursed Malachi Configuration.
Cassandra Clare
Image
You've got this piece of wood and some wires, pickups and some strings. How somebody uses that configuration to make something memorable, that's what's interesting to me.
Don Felder
Image
When you expand the definition of marriage beyond one man and one woman, society can expect other consenting adults in other configurations to say that their choices deserve recognition.
Emily Yoffe
Image
There is no beginning and there is no end. Nothing is final. There is no absolute. There is no highest point, nor is there a lowest point. These configurations are ideas. Ideas are primitive constructs, symbolic representations, reflections in a mirror.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We did not find direct evidence that Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail domain, in its various configurations since 2009, was successfully hacked. But, given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence.
James Comey
Image
Every configuration of people is an entirely new universe unto itself.
Kristin Cashore
Image
No matter how children came to be living with just one parent, they need to be told, again and again, that your family's configuration is the result of an adult decision or an act of fate that has nothing whatsoever to do with them.

What is art? A violet. Is that all? An artistic style is a living entity, a continuous process of invention. It can never be imposed from without born of the profoundest tendencies within a society, its direction is to a certain extent unpredictable, in much the same way as the eventual configuration of a tree's branches.
Octavio Paz
Image

Paul J. H. Schoemaker
Image
It is the medium, or the specific configuration of the medium, that we call a work of art that brings feeling into being.
Robert Motherwell
Image
We seem to inhabit a universe made up of a small number of elements-particles-bits that swirl in chaotic clouds, occasionally clustering together in geometrically logical temporary configurations.
Timothy Leary
Image
My poetry had the same functional origin and the same formal configuration as teenage acne.
Umberto Eco
Image
O Marvelous! What new configuration will come next? I am bewildered with multiplicity.
