the frame QUOTES

21 " A dream is the frame or portrait or a construction or focus of one's vision by means of perception, based on what he or she knows and settles within via strategic thinking. "

― Israelmore Ayivor , Michelangelo | Beethoven | Shakespeare: 15 Things Common to Great Achievers

22 " To know who I am is a species of knowing where I stand. My identity is defined by the commitments and identifications which provide the frame or horizon within which I can try to determine from case to case what is good, or valuable, or what ought to be done, or what I endorse or oppose. In other words, it is the horizon within which I am capable of taking a stand. "

― Charles Taylor , Sources of the Self: The Making of the Modern Identity

23 " The child's world is alert and alive, governed by rules of response and command, not by physical laws: a portentous continuum of consciousness, endowed with purpose and intent, either resistant or responsive to the child itself.

This infantile notion of a world governed by moral rather than physical laws, kept under control by a superordinated parental personality instead of impersonal physical forces, and oriented to the weal and woe of man, is an illusion that dominates men's thoughts all over the world.

The sense then, of this world as an undifferentiated continuum of simultaneously subjective and objective experience (Participation), which is all alive (Animism), and which was created by a superior being (Artificialism), may be said to constitute the frame of reference of all childhood experience no matter where in the world.

No small wonder then, that the above Three Principles are precisely those most represented in the mythologies and religious systems of the whole world. "

― Joseph Campbell , The Masks of God, Volume 1: Primitive Mythology

24 " Understanding a people's culture exposes their normalness without reducing their particularity...It renders them accessible: setting them in the frame of their own banalities, it dissolves their opacity. "

― Clifford Geertz , The Interpretation of Cultures

25 " If a problem can't be solved within the frame it was conceived, the solution lies in reframing the problem. "

27 " My temperament and my instinct had told me alike that the author, who writes at his own emergency, remains and needs to remain at his private remove. I wished to be, not effaced, but invisible - actually a profound position. Perspective, the line of vision, the frame of vision - these set a distance. "

― Eudora Welty , On Writing

28 " Instead of fighting it, I close my eyes and let myself go. I feel the muscles of his shoulder beneath my hand. The frame his arms create is strong, secure, but I want those arms tighter around me. Much tighter around me. Much tighter, much closer.
I want there to be no space at all between us.
I. Want. Him. So. Badly.
I want to kiss him, laugh with him, cry with him, share every freaking moment of my life with him because no matter how many awful things he's done in the past, I can't shake the undeniable feeling that when his arms are around me, I'm home. "

― Rachel Morgan , The Faerie Prince (Creepy Hollow, #2)

29 " Honestly, Evie," I huffed, flopping back to the centre of my bed and glaring at the ceiling. " Why don't you whine some more instead of actually doing anything?" " Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness," Arianna volunteered, leaning on the frame of my open door." Yeah, so's seeing things no one else can, but people seem to like that about me." " Good point. Odds are, you've been crazy for years now. I'm probably nothing more than a figment of your imagination." " If that were true, I'd imagine you as less of a slob." She sighed. " Isn't it sad that you hate yourself so much you can't even dream up a pleasant roommate?" " Not as sad as the fact that you admit how bad you suck as one." Flashing a wicked grin, she narrowed her eyes. “ I'd use the term 'suck' sparingly around me. Don't want to go planting ideas in my pretty, dead head." I threw a pillow at her. "

30 " Once an artist painted on a huge canvas - the skies;The sun, the landscapes and everything that was nice.To complete the masterpiece into the frame He came-And that is how, You, I and all life on earth became.The same God that performed this miraculous feat,One can reach by closing eyes and feeling his heart beat. "

31 " Like creating a masterpiece, quitting is an art: you have to decide what to keep within the frame and what to keep out. "

― Richie Norton

33 " I understand Medicine, Forensics... I can learn it in the frame of 1-2 years... No Problem in that. "

34 " They were both smiling so hard, it was surprising the frame could contain the happiness of that moment, surprising that it didn't shatter into a million pieces, floating all over the funeral home like dust. "

35 " Everything in New York is a photograph. All the things that are supposed to be dirty or rough or unrefined are the most beautiful things. Garbage cans at the ends of alleyways look like they've been up all night talking with each other. Doorways with peeling paint look like the wise lines around an old feller's eyes. I stop and stare but can't stay because men always think I'm selling something. Or worse, giving something away. I wish I could be invisible. Or at least I wish I didn't look like someone they want to look at. They stop being part of the picture, they get up from their chess game and come out of the frame at me, blocking my view. "

― Ann-Marie MacDonald , Fall on Your Knees
