Famous quotes containing the words perceived and/or popularity:
“It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately presented to us by our senses.”
—Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)
