Text Quotes
The abstract idea of a spirit certainly implies that it has neither substance, form, shape, voice, or anything which can render its presence visible or sensible to human faculties  (Abstract Quotes) There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality  (Abstract Quotes) Information doesn't deserve to be free. It is an abstract tool; a useful fantasy, a nothing. It is nonexistent until and unless a person experiences it in a useful way  (Abstract Quotes) What they didn't want to believe, what they tried repeatedly to dismiss, was that whatever good and evil existed in the world came from within themselves and not from some abstract source  (Abstract Quotes) A philosopher of imposing stature doesn't think in a vacuum. Even his most abstract ideas are, to some extent, conditioned by what is or is not known in the time when he lives  (Abstract Quotes) What feminism calls patriarchy is simply civilization, an abstract system designed by men but augmented and now co-owned by women  (Abstract Quotes) We are all hungry and thirsty for concrete images. Abstract art will have been good for one thing: to restore its exact virginity to figurative art  (Abstract Quotes) I think more than writers, the major influences on me have been European movies, jazz, and Abstract Expressionism  (Abstract Quotes) Money is human happiness in the abstract; he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes himself utterly to money  (Abstract Quotes) The love of the famous, like all strong passions, is quite abstract. Its intensity can be measured mathematically, and it is independent of persons  (Abstract Quotes) What is important, then, is not that the critic should possess a correct abstract definition of beauty for the intellect, but a certain kind of temperament, the power of being deeply moved by the presence of beautiful objects  (Abstract Quotes) The vanquished know war. They see through the empty jingoism of those who use the abstract words of glory, honor, and patriotism to mask the cries of the wounded, the senseless killing, war profiteering, and chest pounding grief  (Abstract Quotes) They tend to be pretty abstract ones then, like doing what will have the best consequences; obviously you wouldn't specify what consequences are best, they may be different in some circumstances, so at a lower, more specific level, you may well get differences  (Abstract Quotes) Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division, and from the antagonism between poor and rich, means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts  (Abstract Quotes) Beauty too often sacrifices to fashion. The spirit of fashion is not the beautiful, but the wilful; not the graceful, but the fantastic; not the superior in the abstract, but the superior in the worst of all concretes, the vulgar  (Abstract Quotes) There is no such thing as justice in the abstract; it is merely a compact between men  (Abstract Quotes) Good writing, and this is especially important in a subject such as economics, must also involve the reader in the matter at hand. It is not enough to explain. The images that are in the mind of the writer must be made to reappear in the mind of the reader, and it is the absence of this ability that causes much economic writing to be condemned, quite properly, as abstract  (Abstract Quotes) The scripture notion of truth is not an abstract, static, and timeless formula, but is something that comes true in time as the fulfillment of a divine promise. Truth happens in history  (Abstract Quotes) I think that ideas exist outside of ourselves. I think somewhere, we’re all connected off in some very abstract land. But somewhere between there and here ideas exist  (Abstract Quotes) To me, a story can be both concrete and abstract, or a concrete story can hold abstractions. And abstractions are things that really can’t be said so well with words  (Abstract Quotes) The art of avoiding extremes is an art that is drawn on the canvas of maturity and painted with the abstract strokes of many experiences  (Abstract Quotes) The crime, said the Jacynth softly, is abstract and fundamental: The innate depravity of extinguishing life  (Abstract Quotes) Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict  (Abstract Quotes) I get satisfaction out of seeing stuff that makes real change in the real world. We need a lot more of that and a lot less abstract stuff  (Abstract Quotes) Many attempts have been made by writers on art and poetry to define beauty in the abstract, to express it in the most general terms, to find some universal formula for it  (Abstract Quotes) O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have reached a point where those dreams are about to become fused with apparent realities: now there is only room here for myself  (Abstract Quotes) Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn’t have any beginning or any end. He didn’t mean it as a compliment, but it was  (Abstract Quotes) Height, width, and depth are the three phenomena which I must transfer into one plane to form the abstract surface of the picture, and thus to protect myself from the infinity of space  (Abstract Quotes) I hardly need to abstract things, for each object is unreal enough already, so unreal that I can only make it real by means of painting  (Abstract Quotes) Let me first say that I don’t think the millennium target of cutting global poverty in half is an impossible or abstract target. I think it is a real and achievable goal  (Abstract Quotes)
