• It seemed to me that I now saw the Star Maker in two aspects: as the spirit's particular creative mood that had given rise to me, the cosmos; and also, most dreadfully, as something incomparably greater than creativity, namely as the eternally achieved perfection of the absolute spirit. Barren, barren and trivial are these words. But not barren the experience.

  Olaf Stapledon

  Stars, Creativity, Two

  "Star Maker" by Olaf Stapledon, Dover Books, (p. 161), 1937.

• First impressions of mediaeval life are usually coloured by the courtly romances of Malory and his later refiners. Chaucer brings us down to reality, but his people belong to a prosperous middle-class world, on holiday and in holiday mood. Piers Plowman stands alone as a revelation of the ignorance and misery of the lower classes, whose multiplied grievances came to a head in the Peasants' Revolt of 1381.

  William Langland

• La influencia de la amistad sobre la cultura difiere de la del amor en que asume que las idiosincrasias básicas del gusto personal son inalterables. El amor, a pesar de todo conocimiento racional en contrario, siempre está en el estado de ánimo de creer en milagros.

• But there was escape, too, even in those days, for there was Whistler living in the grey mists with a faded orange moon. The nocturne transformed itself into dreamy rooms with Chopin's music creating a mood that softened the hard core of self.

• Art deals with profound and simple moods. Let us suppose that the artist - in this instance (the artist) Picabia - gets a certain impression by looking at our skyscrapers, our city, our way of life, and that he tries to reproduce it. He will convey it in plastic ways on the canvas, even though we see neither skyscrapers nor city on it.

• We make very little progress when we strive to conquer baser instincts in a good mood. However, vast strides are possible when we are miserable and work with ourselves to replace our misery with joy and understanding.

• Uno de los estados de ánimo humanos más profundos y extraños es el que nos invade de repente, tal vez en un jardín nocturno o en lo profundo de un prado en pendiente: la sensación de que cada flor y cada hoja acaban de pronunciar algo estupendamente directo e importante, y que nosotros, por un prodigio de imbecilidad, no lo hemos oído ni comprendido. Hay un cierto valor poético, y genuino, en esta sensación de no haber captado el sentido completo de las cosas. Hay belleza, no sólo en la sabiduría, sino en esta ignorancia aturdida y dramática.

• When I'm writing a book, generally I start with the mood and setting, along with a couple of specific images—things that have come into my head, totally abstracted from any narrative, that I've fixated on. After that, I construct a world, or an area, into which that general setting, that atmosphere, and the specific images I've focused on can fit.

• Cada obra individual es una expresión de nuestro estado de ánimo más personal en ese momento concreto y de la necesidad ineludible e imperiosa de liberarnos mediante un acto de creación apropiado: en el ritmo, la forma, el color y el estado de ánimo de un cuadro.

• One man in one mood will attack Industrial Capitalism for its destruction of beauty; another for its incompetence; another for the vileness of the men who chiefly prosper under it; another for its mere confusion and noise; another for its false values; it was until recently most fiercely attacked for its impoverishment of the workers, its margin of unemployment and the rest - indeed so fiercely that it was compelled to seek palliatives for the evil. With a mass of men it was attacked from a vague but strong sense of injustice; it allowed a few rich to exploit mankind.

• El golf no puede jugarse con ira ni con excesos emocionales. La mitad de las pelotas de golf que golpean los aficionados lo hacen, si no con rabia, seguramente con perplejidad, con melancolía, con cinismo o incluso con histeria: todos esos excesos emocionales deben ser contenidos por el profesional. Por eso el equilibrio es uno de los ingredientes esenciales del golf. Los profesionales recorren invariablemente el campo flemáticos, sean cuales sean las emociones que bullen en su interior, con el aspecto sombrío pero plácido y aburrido de los vaqueros, flojos de cuerpo en sus monturas, que llevan dos meses cuidando el mismo rebaño.

  George Plimpton

• It's really a lot of fun to see that this music can actually survive, that it can be concert music. My solo shows are already going along that path. You have the freedom to basically push to party, or you can tell a story from nothing with soundscapes, moving images, to a real party mood. At some concerts, people get out of their seats and start dancing after a while.

• Start small, make a promise and keep it. Then, make larger promises and keep them. Eventually, your honor will become greater than your moods or your circumstances, which includes your medical condition and other people's stereotypic observations. Once you overcome this comparison based mentality, your confidence will soar.
