Albert Einstein

Religion, Mind, Humble

Marianne Williamson

Life, Focus, Wrong

Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'
Edgar Allan Poe

Nature, Art, Through

William James

Change, Fear, Past

Albert Camus

Silence, Same, Quiet

It takes these very simple-minded instructions - 'Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it's greater than this other number' - but executes them at a rate of, let's say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.
Steve Jobs

Put, Result, Second

Ansel Adams

Men, Confidence, Creative

Everyone has their own insecurities, regardless of how you look or how people perceive you, but sometimes people give their insecurities too much power. Defining beauty is simply a matter of opinion. For me, real beauty has very little to do with the structure of someone's face or body.
Devon Aoki

Beauty, Power, Someone

For them to perceive the advantage of defeating the enemy, they must also have their rewards.
Sun Tzu

Enemy, Advantage, Rewards

Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.
William James

Work, Character, Feeling

Impartial - unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Ambrose Bierce

Personal, Either, Promise

Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

God, Men, Wisdom

Dreaming or awake, we perceive only events that have meaning to us.
Jane Roberts

Meaning, Dreaming, Events

I know that sounds selfish, but you have to look at what it's doing to you personally - are you frustrated because of the way people perceive you, or are you happy enough about the things you've realized about yourself that you can tolerate the way people perceive you?
Shannon Hoon

Happy, Yourself, Selfish

Marcel Proust

Life, Time, Live

Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon another's great tribulation; not because any man's troubles are a delectable joy, but because to perceive you are free of them yourself is pleasant.
Lucretius

Great, Yourself, Joy

Let a man get up and say, Behold, this is the truth, and instantly I perceive a sandy cat filching a piece of fish in the background. Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.
Virginia Woolf

Truth, Fish, Forgotten

Jean de la Bruyere

Love, Alone, Together

David Bowie

Time, Loyalty, Integrity

The security comes, as an actor, in knowing that you're not in control. If you try to control your career, or how people perceive you, you'll make yourself unhappy, because life doesn't work like that. So much is luck. It's much better to let yourself off, to think, 'There's nothing I can do.'
Matthew Macfadyen

Life, Work, Yourself
