  • Like music or art, mathematical equations can have a natural progression and logic that can evoke rare passions in a scientist. Although the lay public considers mathematical equations to be rather opaque, to a scientist an equation is very much like a movement in a larger symphony. Simplicity. Elegance. These are the qualities that have inspired some of the greatest artists to create their masterpieces, and they are precisely the same qualities that motivate scientists to search for the laws of nature. LIke a work of art or a haunting poem, equations have a beauty and rhythm all their own.

  • Grey. It makes no statement whatever; it evokes neither feelings nor associations: it is really neither visible nor invisible. Its inconspicuousness gives it the capacity to mediate, to make visible, in a positively illusionistic way, like a photograph. It has the capacity that no other colour has, to make 'nothing' visible.

    Art   Giving   Feelings  
    Robert Storr, Gerhard Richter (2000). “Gerhard Richter: October 18, 1977”, ABRAMS
  • I don't know what it is on an elemental level, but a beard in general evokes hedonism. It's a more lush personal grooming style.

    Style   Levels   Cozy

  • There are two kinds of visual memory: one when you skillfully recreate an image in the laboratory of your mind, with your eyes open (and then I see Annabel in such general terms as: "honey-colored skin," "thin arms," "brown bobbed hair," "long lashes," "big bright mouth"); and the other when you instantly evoke, with shut eyes, on the dark innerside of your eyelids, the objective, absolutely optical replica of a beloved face, a little ghost in natural colors (and this is how I see Lolita).

    Memories   Eye   Dark  
    Vladimir Nabokov (2011). “The Annotated Lolita: Revised and Updated”, p.66, Vintage

Something that is a marriage between your heart, mind, and body - and mine.

    Rebecca Wells (2009). “Little Altars Everywhere: Novel, A”, p.9, Harper Collins
  • Photographs are diary entries That's all they can be. Photographs are just documentations of a day's event.

It's actually frustrating, that's why I now photograph the future

  • When the writing is really working, I think there is something like dreaming going on. I don't know how to draw the line between the conscious management of what you're doing and this state. . . . I would say that it's related to daydreaming. When I feel really engaged with a passage, I become so lost in it that I'm unaware of my real surroundings, totally involved in the pictures and sounds that that passage evokes.

  • When you raise issues with the President, try to come away with both that decision and also a precedent. Pose issues so as to evoke broader policy guidance. This can help to answer a range of similar issues likely to arise later.

  • Fantasy is, at its best, the purest access to storytelling that we have.

  • Obviously, therefore, we must be able to transcribe what is in us into our mental and objective consciousness, by establishing a relationship between the life in us and observation of that life in Nature. This we find supremely well expressed by the ancient Egyptians.

    Spiritual   Heart   Mean

  • The greatest successes grow out of great failures. In numerous instances the result is better that comes after a series of abortive experiences than it would have been if it had come at once; for all these successive failures induce a skill which is so much additional power working into the final achievement....

Every disappointed effort fences in and indicates the only possible path of success, and makes it easier to find.

    Keys   Hands   Skills  
  • Music evokes emotion and emotion can bring it's memory.

  • I think that whenever soul is present, it's because what you're doing, whom you're with, where you are, evokes love without your thinking about it. You are totally absorbed in the place of person or event, without ego and without judgment.
