Subject Quotes

It’s nothing but a matter of seeing, thinking, and interest. That’s what makes a good photograph. And then rejecting anything that would be bad for the picture. The wrong light, the wrong background, time and so on. Just don’t do it, not matter how beautiful the subject is Picture Quote #1

Modern economics is sick. Economics has increasingly become an intellectual game played for its own sake and not for its practical consequences for understanding the economic world. Economists have converted the subject into a sort of social mathematics in which analytical rigour is everything and practical relevance is nothing Picture Quote #1

Without justice being freely, fully, and impartially administered, neither our persons, nor our rights, nor our property, can be protected. And if these, or either of them, are regulated by no certain laws, and are subject to no certain principles, and are held by no certain tenure, and are redressed, when violated, by no certain remedies, society fails of all its value; and men may as well return to a state of savage and barbarous independence Picture Quote #1

A photographer is a witness. He has a moral duty. Every picture must be true and honest. I believe a photographer’s strength is his ability to accurately record reality. There are photographers who think they are lucky if they find unusual or special subject. But it is never the subject that is so marvelous. It is how alive and real the photographer can make it Picture Quote #1

Every decent director has only one subject, and finally only makes the same film over and over again. My subject is the exploitability of feelings, whoever might be the one exploiting them. It never ends. It’s a permanent theme. Whether the state exploits patriotism, or whether in a couple relationship, one partner destroys the other Picture Quote #1

For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject Picture Quote #1

Mathematics is often erroneously referred to as the science of common sense. Actually, it may transcend common sense and go beyond either imagination or intuition. It has become a very strange and perhaps frightening subject from the ordinary point of view, but anyone who penetrates into it will find a veritable fairyland, a fairyland which is strange, but makes sense, if not common sense Picture Quote #1

Abstract understanding doesn’t mean arbitrary sloshing and messing. Abstract art is controlled visual magic based on laws and methodology. Abstraction generally involves implication, suggestion and mystery rather that obvious description. Like a good poem, a good abstraction attacks your feelings before your understanding. Abstraction within realism adds zest and excitement to otherwise dull subject matter. Abstract understanding takes time and patience Picture Quote #1

Is it a coincidence that stories from the private life became more popular just as the grand hope for public redemption through revolution was beginning to sour? I witnessed a similar shift in taste in my own time. In the 1960s, while a hopeful vision of a just society arose again, countless poems and plays concerning politics and public life were written, read, and performed. But after the hope diminished and public life seemed less and less trustworthy, this subject was less in style Picture Quote #1

In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature. You must be able to walk firmly on the ground before you start walking on a tightrope Picture Quote #1

Math is my favorite subject. It’s the universal language. I like the fact that wherever you go in the whole world, two plus two will still be four Picture Quote #1

Being gay is a natural normal beautiful variation on being human. Period. End of subject. Therefore, any argument which says differently is an immoral supremacist one. Call it out as such... Be outraged, offended, angry and intolerant of any discussion or any one who describes you as unequal, undeserving or unnatural for being just as you are Picture Quote #1

Before you shoot an irresistible subject, mute all your senses except sight to find out how much is left for the camera to record Picture Quote #1

The photographer has almost as much control over his subject matter as a painter. He can control light and shade, form and space, pattern and texture, motion and mood, everything except composition Picture Quote #1

We are all citizens of one world, we are all of one blood. To hate people because they were born in another country, because they speak a different language, or because they take a different view on this subject or that, is a great folly. Desist, I implore you, for we are all equally human... Let us have but one end in view: the welfare of humanity Picture Quote #1

I think the best teachers had a real interest in the subject they were teaching and a love for children Picture Quote #1

I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes Picture Quote #1

Ignorance breeds fear; the more you learn about your subject, the less fear it holds for you Picture Quote #1

Talks on art are almost useless. The work which goes to bring progress in one’s own subject is sufficient compensation for the incomprehension of imbeciles Picture Quote #1

The principal subject is the surface, which has its color, its laws over and above those of object Picture Quote #1

When I was a child of four I wasn’t really drawing like a child, I wasn’t sketching as a child. I would sketch and I was using perspective, the good relationship of the subject Picture Quote #1

Without money, you are powerless in this world. You are totally subject to whatever happens. To be without money in the physical world is to be powerless Picture Quote #1

In the presence of death I affirm and reaffirm the truth of all that I have said against the superstitions of the world. I would say that much on the subject with my last breath Picture Quote #1

If I were a headmaster, I would get rid of the history teacher and get a chocolate teacher instead and my pupils would study a subject that affected all of them Picture Quote #1

I spent nearly two hours deciding on an outfit that would look as if the subject of clothing had never crossed my mind, but would in fact show off my best features and miraculously hide the extra pounds Picture Quote #1

If one’s sense of self is obtained through the eyes of another it is always subject to being lost Picture Quote #1

Everywhere there is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject; only, the shorter it is, the better Picture Quote #1

Prophets, mystics, poets, scientific discoverers are men whose lives are dominated by a vision; they are essentially solitary men... whose thoughts and emotions are not subject to the dominion of the herd Picture Quote #1

Civilized people can talk about anything. For them no subject is taboo... In civilized societies there will be no intellectual bogeys at sight of which great grownup babies are expected to hide their eyes Picture Quote #1

Scientific thought does not mean thought about scientific subjects with long names. There are no scientific subjects. The subject of science is the human universe; that is to say, everything that is, or has been, or may be related to man Picture Quote #1
