We are thus assisted by natural objects in the expression of particular meanings. But how great a language to convey such pepper-corn informations!
Representational Quotes : pic 001840527
A prototype is a question embodied
Representational Quotes : pic 001008061
When I write now I do not invent situation, characters, or actions, but rather structures and discursive forms, textual groupings which are combined according to secret affinities among themselves, as in architecture or the plastic arts.
Representational Quotes : pic 000391060
We are all the subjects of impressions, and some of use seek to convey the impressions to others. In the art of communicating impressions lies the power of generalizing without losing that logical connection of parts to the whole which satisfies the mind.
Representational Quotes : pic 001609543
From time to time, from the endless flow of our mental imagery, there emerges unexpectedly something that, vague though it may be, seems to carry the promise of a form, a meaning, and, more important, an irresistible poetic charge.

Affect, Imagery, Consciousness, a four-volume work so dense that its readers were evenly divided between those who understood it and thought it was brilliant and those who did not understand it and thought it was brilliant.
Representational Quotes : pic 000355329
Things [only] exist once they are represented.
Representational Quotes : pic 000188529
An image is a bridge between evoked emotion and conscious knowledge; words are the cables that hold up the bridge. Images are more direct, more immediate than words, and closer to the unconscious. Picture language precedes thinking in words; the metaphorical mind precedes analytical consciousness.
Representational Quotes : pic 001725350
What you show is what you represent
Representational Quotes : pic 001368042
Language is memory and metaphor.
Representational Quotes : pic 000168485
The wholeness, coherence, identity, which we attribute to the depicted scene [in a photograph] is a projection, a refusal of an impoverished reality in favour of an imagined plenitude.
Representational Quotes : pic 000478176
Realization that is beyond characteristic or designation is marvelous!
Representational Quotes : pic 001643967
The mind is a metaphor of the world of objects.
Representational Quotes : pic 000859230
The images evoked by words being independent of their sense, they vary from age to age and from people to people, the formulas remaining identical. Certain transitory images are attached to certain words: the word is merely as it were the button of an electric bell that calls them up.
Representational Quotes : pic 001711524
Conceptions are artificial. Perceptions are essential.
Representational Quotes : pic 000798947
Art is the sensuous presentation of ideas.
Representational Quotes : pic 000782902
Demonstration, similitude & harmony are objects of reasoning. Invention, identity & melody are objects of intuition.
Representational Quotes : pic 001727925
Apart from the representational content of an idea there is another component: its force and vivacity, its impetus.
Representational Quotes : pic 001533248
The idea, which constitutes the actual being of the human mind, is not simple, but compounded of a great number of ideas.
Representational Quotes : pic 001363124
Thought without language, says Lavelle, would not be a purer thought; it would be no more than the intention to think. And his last book offers a theory of expressiveness which makes of expression not a faithful image of an already realized interior being, but the very means by which it is realized.
Representational Quotes : pic 001245553
Imagine others complexly.
Representational Quotes : pic 000665670
A mind that is very selective to forms ... is apt to use its images metaphorically, to exploit their possible significance for the conception of remote or intangible ideas.
Representational Quotes : pic 001728496
Empirical description involves enslavement to the object by decreeing passivity on the part of the subject.
Representational Quotes : pic 001127830
It's a mind, it works by metaphor.
Representational Quotes : pic 001777409
In order for sensation to accede to the objectivity of things, it must itself be changed into a thing. The agent of change is language: the sensations are turned into verbal objects.
Representational Quotes : pic 000031657
The abstract is no more than an instrument, an organ, to see the concrete clearly.
Representational Quotes : pic 000671847
All individual thought is dissolved in universal thought, as all form is dissolved in the universal plastic means of Abstract-Real painting.
Representational Quotes : pic 000735693
Reality changes; in order to represent it, modes of representation must change.
Representational Quotes : pic 001690844
When anything is present to the mind, what is the very first and simplest character to be noted in it, in every case, no matter how little elevated the object may be? Certainly, it is its presentness .
Representational Quotes : pic 001354840
The human mind is not, as philosophers would have you think, a debating hall, but a picture gallery.
Representational Quotes : pic 001638522
I don't decide to represent anything except myself. But that self is full of collective memory.
Representational Quotes : pic 001587421
Manifestation is a process by which we transform seemingly unrealizable imaginations to reality.
Representational Quotes : pic 000717136
I am an interpreter of interpretations
Representational Quotes : pic 001136519
All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us.
Representational Quotes : pic 000831698
Discourse, the sweeter banquet of the mind.
Representational Quotes : pic 001034203
We are symbols, and inhabit symbols.
Representational Quotes : pic 001811991
The number and richness of man's signifiers always surpasses the set of defined objects that could be termed signifieds. The symbolic function must always precede its object and does not encounter reality except when it precedes it into the imaginary ...
Representational Quotes : pic 001079231
A representational photograph says, 'This is what Vienna looked like.' An interpretational photograph goes one better and says, 'This is what Vienna was like. This is how I felt about it.
Representational Quotes : pic 000896935
Vision is an intelligent form of thought
Representational Quotes : pic 001742045
I try to make concrete that which is abstract.
Representational Quotes : pic 000309035
In the spirit of Trickster, here's to turning representation against itself in the fight for survivance, for f"a new consciousness of coexistence," for a new Turtle Island.
Representational Quotes : pic 001652946
A tendency toward the abstract is inherent in linear expression: graphic imagery being confined to outlines has a fairy-like quality and at the same time can achieve great precision.
Representational Quotes : pic 000264232
But what is memory if not the language of feeling, a dictionary of faces and days and smells which repeat themselves like the verbs and adjectives in a speech, sneaking in behind the thing itself,into the pure present, making us sad or teaching us vicariously ...
Representational Quotes : pic 001284453
We emphasize that such a form of communication is not absent in man, however evanescent a naturally given object may be for him, split as it is in its submission to symbols.
Representational Quotes : pic 000251572
It sounds formulaic now, but at the time, I was interested in the difference between the thing and the representation of the idea of the thing - the space between the two.
Representational Quotes : pic 000732793
The idea is that the object has a language unto itself.
Representational Quotes : pic 001765900
Perception is, in essence, who we are. We are what we perceive. What we perceive defines who we are.
Representational Quotes : pic 001767687
Embodiment means we no longer say, I had this experience; we say, I am this experience.
Representational Quotes : pic 000091338
We believe that we know something about the things themselves when we speak of trees, colors, snow, and flowers; and yet we possess nothing but metaphors for things - metaphors which correspond in no way to the original entities.
Representational Quotes : pic 000525170
I'm not expressing anything. I'm presenting people moving.
Representational Quotes : pic 000283332
Perception is a powerful tool.
Representational Quotes : pic 000405419
When David Marr at MIT moved into computer vision, he generated a lot of excitement, but he hit up against the problem of knowledge representation; he had no good representations for knowledge in his vision systems.
Representational Quotes : pic 000412369
We can think of descriptions almost as computer languages, an operative description that only deals with very simple operations. Its code is sex - Male, female, dark, light, up down, in out - its the language of duality.
Representational Quotes : pic 001459307
What thin partitions sense from thought divide!
Representational Quotes : pic 001671830
The Imagination that is raised in man (or any other creature imbued with the faculty of imagining) by words, or other voluntary signs, is that we generally call Understanding; and is common to Man and Beasts.

Representational Quotes : pic 000824801
Grammar A stratum of consciousness Leading to beauty
Representational Quotes : pic 001022091
Language is not the lowborn, gawky servant of thought and feeling; it is need, thought, feeling, and perception itself. The shape of sentences, the song in its syllables, the rhythm of its movement, is the movement of the imagination.
Representational Quotes : pic 000443357
What is thematically posited is only what is given, by pure reflection, with all its immanent essential moments absolutely as it is given to pure reflection.
Representational Quotes : pic 000873430
I was concerned with something like the notion of 'language speaking the subject,' and with the transformation of the woman herself into a sign in a system of signs that represent a system of food production, a system of harnessed subjectivity.
Representational Quotes : pic 001328140
Metaphor has traditionally been regarded as the matrix and pattern of the figures of speech.
Representational Quotes : pic 000809551
It is a good plan, with a young person of a character to be much affected by ludicrous and absurd representations, to show him plainly by examples that there is nothing which may not be thus represented. He will hardly need to be told that everything is not a mere joke.
Representational Quotes : pic 000272809
The mind is inherently embodied.
Thought is mostly unconscious.
Abstract concepts are largely metaphorical.
Representational Quotes : pic 001263866
My writing is a picture of the mind moving.
Representational Quotes : pic 001313199
From the physical point of view, a man is nothing more than a system of cells, or from the mental point of view, than a system of representations; in either case, he differs only in degree from animals.
Representational Quotes : pic 000447529
Conceptuality is subjective; realization is objective.
Representational Quotes : pic 001505036
Words are tools of imagery in motion,

Representational Quotes : pic 000724676
It is only through the radical defile of speech that we fall into the illusion that language is a register of conscious construction
Representational Quotes : pic 000684282
Thus we must advance from generalities to particulars; for it is a whole that is best known to sense-perception, (25) and a generality is a kind of whole, comprehending many things within it, like parts.
Representational Quotes : pic 001061362
An idea can only be materialized with the help of a medium of expression, the inherent qualities of which must be surely sensed and understood in order to become the carrier of an idea.
Representational Quotes : pic 000105807
We are not talking about a new cognition in relation to abstract art, rather a new area of cognition ...
Representational Quotes : pic 001397177
Like any organic entity, a system of consciousness manifests itself through the orderly, differentiated development of a certain unifying reality.
Representational Quotes : pic 001793696
the mind is a neural computer
Representational Quotes : pic 000313726
I believe that both art and the human striving for cognitive comprehension are manifest forms of the grand game in which nothing more is stipulated than the game's rules; both art and actively solicited perceptions are but special cases of the recurring creative act to which we owe our existence.
Representational Quotes : pic 001577174
Minds weren't pictures at an exhibition, all numbered, and hung in order of influence, one marked "Cunning," the next, "Impressionable." They were scrawls; they were sprawling splashes of graffiti, unpredictable, unconfinable.
Representational Quotes : pic 000415316
All human cognition begins with intuitions, proceeds from thence to conceptions, and ends with ideas.
Representational Quotes : pic 000402171
Proper visualization by the exercise of concentration and willpower enables us to materialize thoughts, not only as dreams or visions in the mental realm, but also as experiences in the material realm.
Representational Quotes : pic 000825988
It is extremely natural for us to desire to see such our thoughts put into the dress of words, without which indeed we can scarce have a clear and distinct idea of them our selves.
Representational Quotes : pic 001291362
Cognitive science
Representational Quotes : pic 001145488
The full analysis of the notions of saying something and understanding what one said inevitably involves a concept which, as I will show in detail, essentially corresponds to the Cartesian idea of thought.
Representational Quotes : pic 001415154
The primary imagination I hold to be the living power and prime agent of all human perception, and as a repetition in the finite mind of the eternal act of creation in the infinite I Am.
Representational Quotes : pic 000486777
All representations of a thing are inherently abstract.
Representational Quotes : pic 001389922
A series of powers are at work within the great stream of Expressionism who have no outward similarity to one another but a common direction of thrust, namely the intention to give expression to things of the psyche [Seelisches] through form alone.
Representational Quotes : pic 000851625
The danger of crippling thought, the danger of obstructing the formation of the public mind by specially suppressing ... representations is far greater than any real danger that there is from such representations.
Representational Quotes : pic 000274121
We each project to others a reflection of the world which includes our choices of perception.

Representational Quotes : pic 001494038
Acting is the physical representation of a mental picture and the projection of an emotional concept.
Representational Quotes : pic 001284450
The unconscious is the discourse of the Other.
Representational Quotes : pic 001198005
Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.
Representational Quotes : pic 001289383
No one questions the fact that verbal language has to be learned, but the commonplaceness of visual experience betrays art; people tend to assume that, because they can see, they can see art.
Representational Quotes : pic 001158634
We are not thinking machines that feel; rather, we are feeling machines that think.
Representational Quotes : pic 001376045
Thought is prior to language and consists in the simultaneous presentation to the mind of two different images.
Representational Quotes : pic 001438172
Sufficiently simple natural structures are predictable but uncontrollable, whereas sufficiently complex symbolic descriptions are controllable but unpredictable.
Representational Quotes : pic 000908292
To think about them means to talk with them; otherwise they immediately turn to us their objectivized side: they fall silent, close up, and congeal into finished, objectivized images.
Representational Quotes : pic 001493439
The process of putting intangible thoughts into an imperfect system of notation - which is difficult enough, depending on your ideas - acquaints you with how best to express your ideas so that it is as clear as possible to the performer.
