“Fragrance of breeze,novel smell of dust after a drizzling,tin tin sound of squirrels,dried leaves floating with the wind... want me to feel I must sense all the possibilities of aesthetics during this moment of living.”
Nishi De Silva
“Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man - the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Let architects sing of aesthetics that bring Rich clients in hordes to their knees; Just give me a home, in a great circle dome Where stresses and strains are at ease.”
Richard Buckminster Fuller
“And I knew my vision of the garden of savage beauty had been a true vision. There was meaning in the world, yes, and laws, and inevitability, but they had only to do with the aesthetic and in this Savage Garden, these innocent ones belonged in the vampire's arms. A thousand other things can be said about the world, but only aesthetic principles can be verified, and these things alone remain the same.”
Anne Rice
“Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers... What we call art is a game.”
Octavio Paz
“A dramatic experience concerned with the mundane may inform but it cannot release; and one concerned essentially with the aesthetic politics of its creators may divert or anger, but it cannot enlighten.”
David Mamet
“There's only so much you can do until you get on set and see the aesthetics of what you're dealing with. Then you see what the other players are giving to you. It's all about the transfer of energy between different actors.”
Karl Urban
