"Humility has nothing to do with depreciating ourselves or our gifts in ways we know to be untrue. Even "humble" attitudes can be masks of pride. Humility is that freedom from our self that enables us to be in positions in which we have neither recognition nor importance, neither power nor visibility, and even experience deprivation, and yet have joy and delight. It is the freedom of knowing that we are not in the center of the universe, not even in the center of our own private universe". - David F. Wells, Losing Our Virtue

'The discovery that music is the fundamental atmospheric art has solved an old, annoying and yet inescapable problem of music theory, i.e. the question: of what does music's so-called emotional effect actually consist? In opposition to the helpless association theories and the theories that called upon fantasy to mediate, the Aesthetics of Atmospheres gives a simple answer to the question: music as such is a modification of space as it is experienced by the body. Music forms and informs the listener's sense of self (das Sichbefinden) in a space; it reaches directly into his or her corporeal economy.' - Gernot Böhme

'Perhaps we should be happier in our cities were we to respond to them as nature or dreams; as objects of exploration, investigation and interpretation, settings for voyages of discovery. The "discourse" that has shaped our cities - the utilitarian plans of experts whose goal was social engineering - has limited our vision and almost destroyed our cities. It is time for a new vision, a new ideal of life in the city - and a new, "feminine" voice in praise of cities.' - Elizabeth Wilson

'Our bodies are surrounded by air. Air fills space completely. But we are not clearly conscious of the existence of air in our daily lives. We notice air's existence somehow by the actions of vibration, heat and light. Air appears as a medium in our observation. Air spreads physical vibration into a space like a spring. Next, a time difference appears in the sound depending on the form of the space. Movement of this medium is greatly concerned with space and time. Moreover, it is also concerned with movement from past to present and from far to near. It is interesting to observe movement of this medium by physical vibration even without discovering its cause. We can find beautiful order there.' - Toshiya Tsunoda
