Synthetic Quotes

In the field one has to face a chaos of facts, some of which are so small that they seem insignificant; others loom so large that they are hard to encompass with one synthetic glance. But in this crude form they are not scientific facts at all; they are absolutely elusive, and can be fixed only by interpretation, by seeing them sub specie aeternitatis, by grasping what is essential in them and fixing this. Only laws and gerneralizations are scientific facts, and field work consists only and exclusively in the interpretation of the chaotic social reality, in subordinating it to general rules Picture Quote #1

My knowledge of myself is direct, synthetic, from within outwards; my knowledge of other persons is indirect, analytical, from outside inwards. My knowledge of myself starts at the core; that of others at the crust Picture Quote #1

I myself got married at a very young age. It has always intrigued me because marriage is very synthetic in an otherwise natural world Picture Quote #1

We live in a kind of dark age, craftily lit with synthetic light, so that no one can tell how dark it has really gotten. But our exiled spirits can tell. Deep in our bones resides an ancient singing couple who just won’t give up making their beautiful, wild noise. The world won’t end if we can find them Picture Quote #1

Don’t try to capture a man in one synthetic portrait, but rather in lots of snapshots taken at different times and in different circumstances Picture Quote #1

Everything I do is a reflection of the duality within me. Musically, I really love things that are very synthetic and unnatural. And I also like the organic and human... the intrinsic, I guess Picture Quote #1

I feel like there’s a hunger in the culture now for the live experience maybe as a counterpoint to the more sort of synthetic lives that we’ve been living Picture Quote #1

When we mistake what we can know for all there is to know, a healthy appreciation of one’s ignorance in the face of a mystery like soil fertility gives way to the hubris that we can treat nature as a machine. Once that leap has been made, one input follows another, so that when the synthetic nitrogen fed to plants makes them more attractive to insects and vulnerable to disease, as we have discovered, the farmer turns to chemical pesticides to fix his broken machine Picture Quote #1

With a painting, you’re taking basic building blocks and making something that’s more complex than what you started with. It is a synthetic process. A photograph does the opposite: It takes the world, and puts an order on it, simplifies it Picture Quote #1

I think that gambling is a synthetic experience and that if you have any balls you gamble with your life. I have. So can everybody else Picture Quote #1

I do not spoil women.... I don’t send them flowers and gifts.... I’m saving those gestures until I am an unpleasant old man who must resort to bribery to win a woman’s synthetic affections Picture Quote #1

I can work in films as long as the story doesn't have a realistic nature. If I'm working with an allegory, a fantasy, it can be developed in synthetic terms Picture Quote #1
