Text Quotes
It is good to live in a country where all are immigrants ... the newcomer is simply the latest arrival.  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Today we no longer regard the universe as the cause of our own undeserved troubles but perhaps, on the contrary, as the last refuge from the mismanagement of our Earthly affairs  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Variety is more than a means of avoiding boredom, since art is more than an entertainment of the senses  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) The foreign accent was a promise, and indeed, all over the country, European imports added spice to the sciences, the arts, and other areas. What one had to give was not considered inferior to what one received  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Today we no longer regard the universe as the cause of our own undeserved troubles but perhaps, on the contrary, as the last refuge from the mismanagement of our earthly affairs.  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) In a land of immigrants, one was not an alien but simply the latest arrival  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) In many instances, order is apprehended first of all by the senses  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Now equilibrium is the very opposite of disorder  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Order is a necessary condition for anything the human mind is to understand  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) The least touchable object in the world is the eye  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Every act is a visual judgement  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Seeing consists of the grasping of structural features rather than the indiscriminate recording of detail  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Art is continually working to take the crust of familiarity off everyday objects  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Order is a prerequisite of survival; therefore the impulse to produce orderly arrangements is inbred by evolution  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Would there be any truth in saying that psychology was created by the sophists to sow distrust between man and his world?  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) A good documentary or educational film is not raw experience. The material has passed the mill of reason, it has been sifted and interpreted  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) A cloud can look like a camel, but a camel is unlikely to look like a cloud. This is so because the signifier must be able to stand for the whole category of the signified. The cloud looks like all camels, but no camel looks like all clouds  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) No mature style of art in any culture has ever been simple. In certain cultures, an overall symmetry may conceal the complexity of the work at first glance  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) It is good to live in a country where all are immigrants... the newcomer is simply the latest arrival  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) The more perfect our means of direct experience, the more easily we are caught by the dangerous illusion that perceiving is tantamount to knowing and understanding  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) A revolution must aim at the destruction of the given order and will succeed only by asserting an order of its own  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) At one of the annual conventions of the American Society for Aesthetics much confusion arose when the Society for Anesthetics met at the same time in the same hotel  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Furthermore, order is a necessary condition for making a structure function. A physical mechanism, be it a team of laborers, the body of an animal, or a machine, can work only if it is in physical order  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Man’s striving for order, of which art is but one manifestation, derives from a similar universal tendency throughout the organic world; it is also paralleled by, and perhaps derived from, the striving towards the state of simplest structure in physical systems  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) The absurd consequences of neglecting structure but using the concept of order just the same are evident if one examines the present terminology of information theory  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) The rehabilitation of order as a universal principle, however, suggested at the same time that orderliness by itself is not sufficient to account for the nature of organized systems in general or for those created by man in particular  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) Modem science, then, maintains on the one hand that nature, both organic and inorganic, strives towards a state of order and that man’s actions are governed by the same tendency  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes) A system is in equilibrium when the forces constituting it are arranged in such a way as to compensate each other, like the two weights pulling at the arms of a pair of scales  (Rudolf Arnheim Quotes)
