Its subject is the slow and erratic process by which the peoples of the British Isles learnt - and then for long periods forgot - about the 'Safeguard of the Sea', as the 15th century phrase had it, meaning the use of the sea for national defence, and the defence of those who used the sea.
I never believe I'm presenting objective reality; I also don't want to delude people into thinking that my subject is talking directly to them.
Philosophy, art, and science are not the mental objects of an objectified brain but the three aspects under which the brain becomes subject.
The value of making young people stupid, subject to an educational deficit has enormous currency in a society in which existing relations of power are normalized. Under such conditions, those who hold power accountable are reviewed as treasonous while critically engaged young people are denounced as un-American.
Mathematics is man's own handiwork, subject only to the limitations imposed by the laws of thought.
All things are subject to decay and change.
Attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it.
I like to think of photographing as a two-way act of respect. Respect for the medium, by letting it do what it does best, describe. And respect for the subject, by describing it as it is. A photograph must be responsible to both.
I would go to sketch groups and draw. I really enjoyed the subject matter, but I wasn't good at it.
What Warcollier demonstrated is compatible with what modern cognitive neuroscience has learned about how visual images are constructed by the brain. It implies that telepathic perceptions bubble up into awareness from the unconscious and are probably processed in the brain in the same way that we generate images in dreams. And thus telepathic “images” are far less certain than sensory-driven images and subject to distortion.
There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person.
Food from the platter Water from the rain The subject and the matter I'm going home again Can't sell a leaf to a tree Nor the wind to the atmosphere I know where I am meant to be And I can't be satisfied here
My idea of an educated person is one who can converse on one subject for more than two minutes.
Sin turns ugly and is subject to defeat only when seen in the light of Christ's beauty.
It will not do to investigate the subject of religion too closely, as it is apt to lead to infidelity.
This is the end of this subject for me for a long time.
I believe we should sunset our visa laws so that Congress is forced to periodically revise and revisit them to bring them up to date. They're archaic. They're ancient. We wouldn't put our entire federal budget on auto pilot for decades, so why should we do the same for the very, very complex subject of immigration?
We all want to live a happy life and have a right to do so, whether through work or spiritual practice. I'm subject to destructive emotions like anger and jealousy the same as you, but we all have potential for good too. However, our existing education system is oriented towards material development; neglecting inner values. Consequently we lack a clear awareness of the inner values that are the basis of a happy life.
I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to better.
Before I came here I was confused about this subject. Having listened to your lecture I am still confused. But on a higher level.
