3. “For a man may understand the precipitation of ether, and be au fait with what is taking place in the sun, yet, confront him with the fact that another man blows his nose differently from the manner in which he blows his own, and at once that man will become lost in perplexity.”
Ivan Turgenev
Perception, Ego, Humanity, Complexity, Irony
5. “The misfortune of solitary and timid people – who are timid from self-consciousness – is just that, though they have eyes and indeed open them wide, they see nothing, or see everything in a false light, as though through coloured spectacles.” Ivan Turgenev Isolation, Perception, Self-Doubt, Timidity, Misunderstanding
6. “Those were Anna Sergeyevna’s words, and those were Bazarovs; both thought they spoke the truth. Did their words hold the truth, the whole truth? They didn’t know it themselves, much less does the author. But their conversation went as if they completely believed one another.” Ivan Turgenev Dialogue, Relativity, Truth, Perception, Mutual Belief
10. “The only way to teach focus is to present the eye with opportunities for steady perception – best supplied by the contemplation of art. Looking at art requires stillness and receptivity, which realign our senses and produce a magical tranquillity.” Camille Paglia Art, Focus, Perception, Stillness, Sensitivity
12. “Don’t talk to me about appealing to the public. I am done with the public, for the present anyway. The public reads the headlines and that is all. The story itself is fair and shows the facts. That would be all right if the public read the facts. But it does not. It reads the headline and listens to the demagogues and that’s the stuff public opinion is made of.” J.P. Morgan Public, Media, Perception, Influence, Reality
22. “You know when you see an advertisement for a casino, and they have a picture of a guy winning money? That’s false advertising, because that happens the least. That’s like if you’re advertising a hamburger, they could show a guy choking. “This is what happened once.”” Mitch Hedberg Advertising, Casino, Humor, False, Perception
25. “When I get a cold sore, I put Carmex on it, because Carmex is supposed to alleviate cold sores. I don’t know if it does help, but it will make them more shiny and noticeable. It’s like cold-sore-highlighter. Maybe they could come up with an arrow that heals cold sores.” Mitch Hedberg Health, Humor, Perception, Observation, Everyday Life
