Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion.
We all look at the same object in different ways.
I've finally figured out what's wrong with photography. It's a one-eyed man looking through a little 'ole. Now, how much reality can there be in that?
My father has a high opinion of his opinion
Don't borrow someone else's spectacles to view yourself with.
It is so.When YOU think so
Everyone sees drama from his own perspective.
Where there is no style, there is in effect no point of view. There is, essentially, no anger, no conviction, no self. Style is opinion, hung washing, the caliber of a bullet, teething beads.
I give my opinion not as being good, but as being my own.
There will be people who are sensitive about seeing the American point of view presented as less than sympathetic.
There’s an assumption that if someone writes in the first person it’s self-indulgent and self-regarding. I just look at it as a tool to understand the world and my experience in it. It’s not a tool to understand myself.
We look at the mountain to see the painting, then we look at the painting to see the mountain.
You know, we're each the hero of our own story and we perceive what's going on around us, and especially in a relationship, from the kind of viewpoint of, 'Well, this is my story, and I'm the hero of that, and I justify what I do around it.'
Much of my work has been done in first person.
The world is how we see the world. Some people see the world good, the other people see the world bad. Every person has an idea of the world with a subjective [viewpoint].
A way of seeing is also a way of not seeing.
Something gets lost when you translate. It's hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing.
Essentially, perspective is a form of abstraction. It simplifies the relationship between eye, brain and object. It is an ideal view, imagined as being seen by a one-eyed, motionless person who is clearly detached from what he sees. It makes a God of the spectator, who becomes the person on whom the whole world converges, the Unmoved Onlooker.
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
Everything is idiocy if you choose to look at it in the proper perspective.
I think, we can only write very personal matters through our experience. When I named my first novel about my son "A Personal Matter," I believe I knew the most important thing: there is not any personal matter; we must find the link between ourselves, our "personal matter," and society.
What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.
One always likes to think that other countries are not like one's own.
A person himself believes that all the other portraits are good likenesses except the one of himself.
I've got an opinion on everything.
