Richard Rorty (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

"Explaining rationality and epistemic authority by reference to what society lets us say, rather than the latter by the former, is the essence of what I shall call ‘epistemological behaviorism,’ an attitude common to Dewey and Wittgenstein." [Richard Rorty, Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1979).p.174]

Tom Montag:

"Metaphor can take you places you never imagined you'd go. Metaphor and a little snatch of narrative. A hot bowl of soup. A crust of dark bread. Go."

Claudia Keelan:

"We have to change our language for our culture to become a better one...I really strongly believe in the notion of Negative Capability that Keats spoke of. The poet can have no identity. A poet has to be constantly filling in for other things...For the I to become the you."

A R Ammons

"not so much looking for the shape
as being available
to any shape that may be
summoning itself
through me
from the self not mine but ours."

How to Write a Scientific Paper

Abstract

We (meaning I) present observations on the scientific publishing process

which (meaning that) are important and timely in that unless I have more

published papers soon, I will never get another job. These observations

are consistent with the theory that it is difficult to do good science, write

good scientific papers, and have enough publications to get future jobs.

The Writer's Writing Guide: Attitude

Writing is a slow learning, through content, style, process, and daily evidence of your tenacity, of who you are, what you value, and what you want from life.

And burnt up by love of beauty,
I shall not have the splendid honour
Of giving my name to the abyss
Which will serve as my grave.

Contemporary Art Blogs - absolutearts.com - "MAKING PROFOUND ART" by Andrew Wielawski

These were the words of the Dreamer, who told me that the future doesn’t exist, because it hasn’t happened yet, and the past is gone. The world as we know it doesn’t exist, either, because it is only our own projection of chemical electrical impulses onto the screen of our brains. It is not the events as they happened, only a time delayed and heavily filtered rendition of them.

With a philosophical view like this, it is only a matter of taking things one step further to see how much freedom we have through our art.
