Rupert Sheldrake quote about ideas, artistic expression, and the success of works of artCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"A lot of us have all sorts of ideas, and we select some rather than others and give expression to those... and some works of art are more successful than others. Some languish in obscurity and are never heard of again, while others form the foundation of a whole school of art." Rupert Sheldrake
Rupert Sheldrake quote about morphic resonance and the influence of thoughts, words, and actionsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"What you do, what you say and what you think can influence other people by morphic resonance. There is no immoral filter in morphic resonance, which means that we have to be more careful about what we are thinking if we are concerned about the affect we have on others." Rupert Sheldrake
Quote about tension in the mind and nonviolence by Martin Luther King Jr.Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." Martin Luther King Jr.

Work Like Hell quote graphic by Elon Musk about success through hard workCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. [This] improves the odds of success. If other people are putting in 40 hour work weeks and you’re putting in 100 hour work weeks, then even if you’re doing the same thing you know that you will achieve in 4 months what it takes them a year to achieve." Elon Musk
Tom Felton quote about making music and not pursuing a singing careerCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I have done a bit of recording and the songs are available on iTunes, and I've got some nice comments. It's something I enjoy doing, but I'm not looking for a singing career any time soon. As long as one person gets enjoyment out of it, I'm happy to make it available." Tom Felton
Oswald Spengler quote about cultural decline, Classicism, Romanticism, and the end of civilizationCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"At last, in the gray dawn of Civilization the fire in the Soul dies down. The dwindling powers rise to one more, half-successful, effort of creation, and produce the Classicism that is common to all dying Cultures. The soul thinks once again, and in Romanticism looks back piteously to its childhood; then finally, weary, reluctant, cold, it loses its desire to be, and, as in Imperial Rome, wishes itself out of the overlong daylight and back in the darkness of protomysticism in the womb of the mother in the grave." Oswald Spengler
Quote by Jacques Vallée about curiosity, looking beyond the obvious, and discovering hidden truthsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Instead of looking at the screen, what I want to do is to turn around and look the other way. When we look the other way what we see is a little hole at the top of the wall with some light coming out. That's where I want to go. I want to steal the key to the projectionist's booth, and then, when everybody has gone home, I want to break in." Jacques Vallée
Night and serenity quote image attributed to Antoine de Saint-ExupéryCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Elon Musk quote about understanding fundamental principles as the trunk and branches of a semantic treeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"One bit of advice: it is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree - make sure you understand the fundamental principles, ie the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang on to." Elon Musk
Albert Jay Nock quote about freedom, collectivism, and human dispositionCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Considering mankind's indifference to freedom, their easy gullibility and their facile response to conditioning, one might very plausibly argue that collectivism is the political mode best suited to their disposition and their capacities. Under its regime, the citizen, like the soldier, is relieved of the burden of initiative and is divested of all responsibility, save for doing as he is told." Albert Jay Nock
Quote by George Soros about China's inclusion in the new world financial orderCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I think this would be time because you really need to bring China into the creation of a new world order, a financial world order. They are kind of reluctant members of the IMF. They play along, but they don’t make much of a contribution because it’s not their institution. Their share is not commensurate …their voting rights are not commensurate to their weight, so I think you need a new world order that China has to be part of the process of creating it and they have to buy in. They have to own it the same way as, let’s say, the United States owns the Washington consensus, the current order, and I think this would be a more stable one where you would have co-ordinated policies. I think the makings of it are already there because the G20, in agreeing to peer reviews, effectively is moving in that direction." George Soros
Quote by Tom Goodwin about Bitcoin, Uber, Facebook, Alibaba, and Airbnb disrupting traditional ownership modelsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Bitcoin: The world's biggest bank, with no actual cash. Uber, the world’s largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Facebook, the world’s most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory. And Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate. Something interesting is happening." Tom Goodwin
Quote image featuring Edward Bernays on consumer behavior and purchasing decisionsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"In theory, everybody buys the best and cheapest commodities offered to him on the market. In practice, if every one went around pricing, and chemically testing before purchasing, the dozens of soaps or fabrics or brands of bread which are for sale, economic life would become hopelessly jammed." Edward Bernays
Edward Bernays quote about mass production, steady sales, and the creation of consumer demandCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Mass production is only profitable if its rhythm can be maintained.. that is, if it can continue to sell its product in steady or increasing quantity. The result is that while, under the handicraft or small-unit system of production that was typical a century ago, demand created the supply, today supply must actively seek to create its corresponding demand." Edward Bernays
Quote by Wolfgang Streeck about markets deciding economic order and political powerlessnessCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"We don't decide anything. It's decided for us: by the 'markets' and, following their lead, by governments. One has to be careful with language, not to talk oneself into a responsibility one doesn't actually have or that's being taken away from one. 'We' don't need to consider what we'd prefer, because it doesn't matter anyway. Questions of economic order and the distribution of economic benefits are currently decided by summits and central bankers under pressure from large corporations, especially the financial sector. 'We' will only have a say when we understand that, fundamentally, we have no say at all." Wolfgang Streeck
