John Adams

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence…

For the roar of Godzilla, I took out the lowest string of a contrabass and then ran a glove that had resin on it across the string. The different kinds of roars were created by playing the recording of the sound that I'd made at different speeds. Toho's sound engineers previously had tried to use the roars of many different animals for Godzilla's roar. They went to a zoo and recorded the roars of

many different mammals, but no matter how the sounds were manipulated, they seemed too much like the roars of each of the animals. The sound engineers also tried to alter the call of a night heron bird, but that also was not successful.

Josef Albers

Every perception of colour is an illusion.... we do not see colours as they really are. In our perception they alter one another.

Josef Albers

Seeing several of these paintings [his series paintings 'Hommage to the square', Josef Albers painted in 1963-64] next to each other makes it obvious that each painting is an instrumentation on its own.
This means that they all are of different palettes, and, therefore, so to speak, of different climates.
Choice of the colors used, as well as their order, is aimed at an interaction –

influencing and changing each other forth and back.
Thus, character and feeling alter from painting to painting without any additional 'handwriting' or, so-called, texture.
Though the underlying symmetrical and quasi-concentric order of squares remains the same in all paintings – in proportion and placement – these same squares group or single themselves, connect and separate in many

different ways
In consequence, they move forth and back, in and out, and grow up and down and near and far, as well as enlarged and diminished. All this to proclaim color autonomy as a means of plastic organization.

Warder Clyde Allee

Widely dispersed knowledge concerning the important role of basic cooperative processes among living beings may lead to the acceptance of cooperation as a guiding principle both in social theory and as a basis for human behavior. Such a development when it occurs will alter the course of human history.

GG Allin: How many Christians are in this audience? How many of you go to church on sunday? You're the biggest hypocrites that I've ever seen, because you'll kneel at an alter and you worship a false god, the real god is up here $#%@^&*. When they come to my shows, you eat the body of Christ, They're gonna' eat the body of GG Allin!

Gottfried Amann

Der Mensch sollte ihnen mit Rücksicht begegnen, seinen Sammeltrieb mäßigen und sie keineswegs mutwillig zerstören, auch wenn sie ihm alt, unbekannt, ungenießbar oder giftig erscheinen.
