“Begin to imagine what the desirable outcome would be like. Go over these mental pictures and delineate details and refinements. Play them over and over to yourself.”
Maxwell Maltz
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera -- and himself.”
Daniel J. Boorstin
“The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
Albert Einstein
“We continue to refine all the things we do, be it working with retailers or refining things like ticket dispensers.”
Rebecca Paul
“Love is an alliance of friendship and animalism; if the former predominates it is passion exalted and refined; if the latter, gross and sensual.”
Charles Caleb Colton
“She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot.”
Mark Twain
“The more refined one is, the more unhappy.”
Anton Chekhov
