“One gets as much information as a witness of activity from a fleeting glance [in the photo], like a quick look, sometimes in motion, as one does staring at the subject. Because even if you remain stationary your mind wanders, and it's that kind of activity that I would like to get into the photograph – a confirmation of the fact that everything is moving.”

“Even if it's going to be a harmful memory, they don't want to let it go. (This is) why sometimes I get such resistance to the work I do. Because it's telling people that your mind might be full of much more fiction than you realize. And people don't like that.”

Elizabeth Loftus (1944) American cognitive psychologist

“No one can understand himself, for to do that he would have to get outside himself; the subject of the knowing and willing activity would have to become its own object.”

Kein Mensch kann sich selbst je verstehen, denn dazu müßte er aus sich selbst herausgehen, dazu müßte das Subjekt des Erkennens und Wollens Objekt werden können: ganz wie, um das Universum zu verstehen, ein Standpunkt noch außerhalb des Universums erforderlich wäre.

“Get all the information you can about the Cubists, and about Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. Go to Kahnweilers' (Paris art gallery). And if he's got photos of recent works – produced after I have left -, buy one or two. Bring us [the Futurists in Italy, like Boccioni himself] back all the information you can get.”

Umberto Boccioni (1882–1916) Italian painter and sculptor

Quote in Boccioni's letter to Gino Severini, staying in Paris in the Summer of 1911; as quoted in Futurism, ed. Didier Ottinger; Centre Pompidou / 5 Continents Editions, Milan, 2008, p. 27.

“Starting out as a dancer gave me an aspect of mindfulness that I didn’t even realise that I was getting…because to dance is to be aware of every piece of your body while you’re moving. It’s like a meditation unto itself.”

Goldie Hawn (1945) American actress, film director, and producer.

On how meditation complimented her dance background in “Goldie Hawn: ‘I was born with a high set point for happiness’” https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/apr/13/goldie-hawn-i-was-born-with-a-high-set-point-for-happiness in The Guardian (2020 Apr 13)
