Picture Quotes Abraham Maslow said that the fully realized person transcends his local group and identifies with the species. But the election of Ronald Reagan might've been the beginning of my giving up on my species. Because it was absurd. To this day it remains absurd. More than absurd, it was frightening: it represented the rise to supremacy of darkness, the ascendancy of ignorance. —George CarlinWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes More and more are turning to photography as a medium of expression as well as communication. The leavening of aesthetic approaches continues. While it is too soon to define the characteristic of the photographic style today, one common denominator, rooted in tradition, seems in the ascendancy. The direct use of the camera for what it can do best, and that is the revelation, interpretation, and discovery of the world of man and of nature. The greatest challenge to the photographer is to express the inner significance through the outward form. —Beaumont NewhallWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes The State governments possess inherent advantages, which will ever give them an influence and ascendancy over the National Government, and will for ever preclude the possibility of federal encroachments.

Picture Quotes What you have to do is disavow yourself from any sense other than ascendancy. That's the only direction you could possibly have towards painting. There's no other direction at all. There's no other space in art. There's no other way in which you can find yourself except in somehow feeling it. And by holding to this feeling you can once again reach out and guess and miss - and sometimes hit. —Milton ResnickWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The early ascendancy of leisure as a means of reputability is traceable to the archaic distinction between noble and ignoble employments.

The combination of those two groups -- their appeal to the lone wolfs and we see them acting in Belgium and in France and in Canada and the United States so the threat factors and the nature of the threats are far more complicated and far more serious today than on September 12, 2001. —Tom RidgeWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes But for me, dinner at a fine restaurant was the ultimate luxury. It was the very height of civilization. For what was civilization but the intellect's ascendancy out of the doldrums of necessity (shelter, sustenance and survival) into the ether of the finely superfluous (poetry, handbags and haute cuisine)? So removed from daily life was the whole experience that when all was rotten to the core, a fine dinner could revive the spirits. If and when I had twenty dollars left to my name, I was going to invest it right here in an elegant hour that couldn't be hocked. —Amor TowlesWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Combativeness was, I suppose, the dominant trait in my grandmother's nature. An aggressive churchgoer, she was quite without Christian feeling; the mercy of the Lord Jesus had never entered her heart. Her piety was an act of war against Protestant ascendancy. ...The teachings of the Church did not interest her, except as they were a rebuke to others ... —Mary McCarthyWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
