The difference in 'seeing' between the eye and the lens should make it obvious that a photographer who merely points his camera at an appealing subject and expects to get an appealing picture in return, may be headed for a disappointment.
Andreas Feininger
Image
An evolutionary biologist and a fundamentalist may see the same chimpanzee sitting in a cage, but in another important way, they do not. And they may approach the details of their lives in very different ways.
Peg O'Connor
Image
To any situation the reaction may be different. That's why it's useless - in a way - to memorize patterns, because the possibilities in life are endless, and you cannot be prepared for every single thing. Therefore it's better to be able to move in a natural way, and not even physically but intuitively.
Vladimir Vasiliev
Image
And verily, a woman need know but one man well, in order to understand all men whereas a man may know all women and understand not one of them.
Helen Rowland
Image
Feminist art may... though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme... should we call it 'joy'?
Andrea Dworkin
Image
Though we may not necessarily forfeit our lives in service to our God, we can certainly demonstrate our love for Him by how well we serve Him.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
I've never known a writer who didn't feel ill at ease in the world. We all feel unhoused in some sense. That's part of why we write. We feel we don't fit in, that this world is not our world, that though we may move in it, we're not of it. You don't need to write a novel if you feel at home in the world.
Andrea Barrett

Every mathematician worthy of the name has experienced . . . the state of lucid exaltation in which one thought succeeds another as if miraculously . . . this feeling may last for hours at a time, even for days. Once you have experienced it, you are eager to repeat it but unable to do it at will, unless perhaps by dogged work. . . .
Andre Weil
Image
You see, Mademoiselle, I have experience, I know the world. To pass the time, why don't you ask every passenger to tell you his life's story? And if there is a single one among them who has never cursed his life, who has not often told himself that he was the unhappiest of men, then you may throw me overboard, headfirst!
Voltaire
Image
Chicken may be eaten constantly without becoming nauseating.
Andre Simon
Image
Religion may be purified. This great work was begun two hundred years ago: but men can only bear light to come in upon them by degrees.
Voltaire
Image
As for courage and will - we cannot measure how much of each lies within us, we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.
Andre Norton
Image
The son of God is the same as the son of man the son of man is the same as the son of God. God, the father, is the same as Christ, the son Christ, the son, is the same as God, the father. This language may appear confused to unbelievers, but Christians will readily understand it.
Voltaire
Image
A right , in the abstract, is a fact it is not a thing to be given, established, or conferred it is. Of the exercise of a right power may deprive me of the right itself, never.
Voltairine de Cleyre
Image
The older people carry the music in their body, in their mind. If they die, then that sound may be gone forever.
Vy Higginsen
Image
When you become used to never being alone, you may consider yourself Americanised
Andre Maurois
Image
Statistics may be defined as a body of methods for making wise decisions in the face of uncertainty.
W. Allen Wallis
Image
Complexity is looking at interacting elements and asking how they form patterns and how the patterns unfold. It's important to point out that the patterns may never be finished. They're open-ended. In standard science this hit some things that most scientists have a negative reaction to. Science doesn't like perpetual novelty.
W. Brian Arthur
Image
With a changing key, you unlock the house where the snow of what’s silenced drifts. Just like the blood that bursts from Your eye or mouth or ear, so your key changes. Changing your key changes the word That may drift with flakes. Just like the wind that rebuffs you, Clenched round your word is the snow.
Paul Celan
Image
Never cry over spilt milk, because it may have been poisoned.
W. C. Fields
Image
What would you do if you were President, and, on the first day of May, the Russian Ambassador presented you with a beautiful cake which emitted a curious ticking noise? Would you plunge it into a pail of water - thus insulting Soviet cuisine in general?
W. C. Fields
Image
Though a revolution may call itself national, it always marks the victory of a single party.
Andre Gide
Image
You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.
W. Clement Stone
Image
Words that may be firm in information can be soft in spirit.
