Quotes

Quotes by authors and personalities

1. Art is never a commodity. Commodities are identical units of sure value—bushels of wheat, say—whose price fluctuates from time to time and place to place. Art works are one-of-a-kind … items, materially worthless, which have in common that a price is asked for them. Their value is entirely "subjective".

   - Peter Schjedlahl,{it}New Yorker{/it},16 Feb. 2009

2. Our perception of loudness is "subjective", but sound has an intensity, independent of our hearing, that is measured in decibels (dB).

   - Jennifer Barone,{it}Discover{/it},July/August 2009

3. Besides, I am not doing this for the anthropology. My aim is nothing so mistily "subjective" as to "experience poverty" or find out how it "really feels" to be a long-term low-wage worker.

   - Barbara Ehrenreich,{it}Harper's{/it},January 1999

4. Science is the study of facts—things that are measurable, testable, repeatable, verifiable. I won't bore you with the inevitable discussion of objective reality and how it's ultimately unknowable because we filter it through our individual "subjective" realities, I'll cut directly to the chase. Science is about the stuff we can agree on. Rocks are hard, water is wet.
