Blanche talks about aging and why should she be considered poor because physical beauty is transitory and fading and she has such richness of the soul. I think that speech is so beautiful and so telling and so true.
Physical beauty isn't so impressive to me.
The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about.
Physical beauty is such a strange thing.
Beauty is not just physical.
The first show I ever did singing and dancing was 'Beauty and the Beast.' I was playing Gaston. Gaston has red tights knee high boots and it's very physical. I had headaches every day for two months.
Vampires have always held a very seductive kind of lore and have always been some variety of attractive whether it's attractiveness that's born of just the physical attributes that they have - this kind of ethereal beauty or translucent pallor - or whether it is more to do with the way they carry themselves.
A woman can be very beautiful and an ideal model and she will photograph incredibly well but she'll appear in film and it won't work. What works is some fusion of physical beauty with some mental field or whatever you call it. I don't know.
I think permitting the game to become too physical takes away a little bit of the beauty.
Beauty is how you feel inside and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.
When everything else physical and mental seems to diminish the appreciation of beauty is on the increase.
That attitude does not exist so much today but in those days there was a very sharp distinction between basic physics and applied physics. Columbia did not deal with applied physics.
The ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight.
Wushu is a move in Chinese a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art.
The art of healing comes from nature not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature with an open mind.
A metaphysical tour de force of untethered meaning and involuting interlocking contrapuntal rhythms 'The Clock' is more than a movie or even a work of art. It is so strange and other-ish that it becomes a stream-of-consciousness algorithm unto itself - something almost inhuman.
What I dream of is an art of balance of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing calming influence on the mind rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.
