Meanings Quotes

Word meanings are like stretchy pullovers, whose outline contour is visible, but whose detailed shape varies with use Picture Quote #1

Not all meanings are meant to be clear at once. Some ideas take time. Some words are designed to lead us on inner journeys, with truth hidden deep inside them Picture Quote #1

I try to make art which celebrates doubt and uncertainty. Which provokes answers but doesn’t give them. Which withholds absolute meaning by incorporating parasite meanings. Which suspends meaning while perpetually dispatching you toward interpretation, urging you beyond dogmatism, beyond doctrine, beyond ideology, beyond authority Picture Quote #1

For that is the power of the camera: seize the familiar and give it new meanings, a special significance by the mark of a personality Picture Quote #1

I hear the words, the thoughts, the feeling tones, the personal meaning, even the meaning that is below the conscious intent of the speaker. Sometimes too, in a message which superficially is not very important, I hear a deep human cry that lies buried and unknown far below the surface of the person.So I have learned to ask myself, can I hear the sounds and sense the shape of this other person’s inner world? Can I resonate to what he is saying so deeply that I sense the meanings he is afraid of, yet would like to communicate, as well as those he knows? Picture Quote #1

Silence has a myriad of meanings. In the theater, silence is an absence of words, but never an absence of meaning Picture Quote #1

The state of empathy, or being empathic, is to perceive the internal frame of reference of another with accuracy and with the emotional components and meanings which pertain thereto as if one were the person Picture Quote #1

You will, in time, see and show others not just the superficial, but the details, the meanings, and the implications of all that you look at Picture Quote #1

Because of their origin and purpose, the meanings of art are of a different order from the operational meanings of science and technics: they relate, not to external means and consequences, but to internal transformations, and unless it produce these internal transformations the work of art is either perfunctory or dead Picture Quote #1

Meanings of all kinds flow through the figures of women, and they often do not include who she herself is Picture Quote #1

Magic is a sudden opening of the mind to the wonder of existence. It is a sense that there is much more to life than we usually recognize; that we do not have to be confined by the limited views that our family, our society, or our own habitual thoughts impose on us; that life contains many dimensions, depths, textures, and meanings extending far beyond our familiar beliefs and concepts Picture Quote #1

I believe that nothing can be more abstract, more unreal, than what we actually see. We know that all we can see of the objective world, as human beings, never really exists as we see and understand it. Matter exists, of course, but has no intrinsic meaning of its own, such as the meanings that we attach to it. We can know only that a cup is a cup, that a tree is a tree Picture Quote #1

Much has been said about the meanings we make of illness, but what about the meanings we make out of cure? Cure is complex, disorienting, a revisioning of the self, either subtle or stark. Cure is the new, strange planet, pressing in. The doctor could not have known. And that made me, as it does every patient, only more alone Picture Quote #1

Human life and objects and trees vibrate with mysterious meanings, which can be deciphered like cuneiform writing. There exists a meaning, hidden from day to day, but accessible in moments of greatest attentiveness, in those moments when consciousness loves the world Picture Quote #1

The key to the creative type is that he is separated out of the common pool of shared meanings. There is something in his life experience that makes him take in the world as a problem; as a result he has to make personal sense out of it Picture Quote #1

In the absence of any written analogue to speech, the sensible, natural environment remains the primary visual counterpart of spoken utterance, the palpable site, or matrix wherein meaning occurs and proliferates. In the absence of writing, we find ourselves situated in the field of discourse as we are embedded in the natural landscape; indeed, the two matrices are not separable. We can no more stabilize the language and render its meanings determinate than we can freeze all motion and metamorphosis within the land Picture Quote #1

Change your meanings you alter your destiny. Life does not give us what we want. Life gives us whatever we expect Picture Quote #1

Colour can be the true main thing in art that is widely valued – even valued by the maker of the art – for other meanings Picture Quote #1

We ascribe meanings because it is our nature to do so.. We can no more see a thing without searching for a meaning than we can see a snag in a robe without pulling on the loose thread Picture Quote #1

It’s not for me to share the meanings of others. I am only in charge of my own Picture Quote #1

Landscapes, even when their general type is similar, are capable of as many expressions as the same type of human face, and, without our being able fully to tell why, affect our spirits as we look at them with as many moods and meanings Picture Quote #1

We do not deceive ourselves that we are engaging in an activity that is anything but debilitating, dangerous, euphoric, kinesthetic, expensive, frivolously essential, economically useless and totally without redeeming social significance. One should not probe for deeper meanings Picture Quote #1

All my lyrics are open to interpretation by the individual and imply many different meanings, therefore their relevance is purely subjective Picture Quote #1

The subject of walking is, in some sense, about how we invest universal acts with particular meanings. Like eating or breathing, it can be invested with wildly different cultural meanings, from the erotic to the spiritual, from the revolutionary to the artistic Picture Quote #1

An educational activity which aims to reveal meanings and relationships through the use of original objects, by firsthand experience, and by illustrative media, rather than simply to communicate factual information Picture Quote #1

Everywhere in my house are these little things that have meanings and make me think of great memories Picture Quote #1

Human social life, I suggest, is the magma that erupts and builds up, so to speak, at the fault lines where natural human capacities meet and grind against and over natural human limitations…. This meeting of powers and limitations produces a creative, dynamic tension and energy that generates and fuels the making of human social life and social structures…. It is real human persons living through the tensions of natural existential contradictions who construct patterned social meanings, interactions, institutions, and structures Picture Quote #1

I don’t actually like explaining the meanings of my songs, because I think people can take away more from it if they use their imagination Picture Quote #1

So many paintings have hidden meanings or need wall texts, but my work is not in that category Picture Quote #1

The meanings get lost and the teachings get tossed and you don’t know what you’re going to do next Picture Quote #1
