Semir Zeki Quotes

When politicians deny anything fiercely, there is a good chance that it will happen Picture Quote #1

Apparently, a cleaner at Tate Britain... threw out a bag of rubbish, accidentally we are told, that was part of an exhibition supposedly emphasizing ‘the finite existence of art’... The cleaner evidently had no time to question the relationship of his or her being to the rubbish bag, and reached the right conclusion Picture Quote #1

Laughter is very infectious, and why it should be so is a most interesting neurological problem. But it also has other, more physiological, benefits. Apparently it boosts the immune system, reduces stress hormones, massages the heart and diaphragm and engenders a ‘feel good’ factor Picture Quote #1

Most artists, or at least most of the ones I know, deny having a philosophical outlook that they try to translate into their works. Some had thought of the work of Cezanne and others as being a ‘painted epistemology.’ But Cezanne himself denied this and Daniel-Henri Kahnwiler, the art critic and art dealer, insisted that none of the many painters he had known had a philosophical culture Picture Quote #1

In the fight between biology and morality, biology has commonly won in the end Picture Quote #1

Why does not the brain adapt to repeated exposure and become indifferent, instead of satisfied? Picture Quote #1

I can really recommend a beautifully but sparsely furnished room with empty walls! Picture Quote #1

The reaction was immediate. The blood flow was in proportion to how much the painting was liked Picture Quote #1

Perhaps there is a minimum distance that should separate one exhibit from another... Indeed those specialized in psychophysics have actually come up with some rules Picture Quote #1

I always expect the worst from this evil and wicked world and am often pleasantly surprised when the worst does not come to pass, but never or rarely surprised or upset when it does Picture Quote #1

I gather that the dopaminergic system in the reward centres of the brain respond even more vigorously to the expectation of reward than to reward itself. Hence, perhaps, the disappointment Picture Quote #1

As soon as your brain starts telling you that you can’t have a tree that is blue then you stop being able to paint trees Picture Quote #1
