The DEVELOPMENT of NEW instrumental and vocal idioms has been one of the remarkable PHENOMENA of recent MUSIC.

I realized that you could formulate theories about human and social PHENOMENA in LANGUAGE and pictures and whatever you wanted on the computer, and you didn't have to GO through this straitjacket, adding a LOT of NUMBERS.

I don't really do THEMES. I MIGHT accidentally, but themes are an emergent PHENOMENA of the writing of the book, of just trying to get a story out there.

A poet must be a psychologist, but a secret one: he should know and FEEL the roots of PHENOMENA but present only the phenomena themselves in full bloom or as they fade AWAY.

When PEOPLE talk about televisual phenomena such as 'Big BROTHER,' I haven't a clue what they're talking about. Having said that, if I'm staying in a hotel and there's a television in there, I'll GO STRAIGHT to it and watch it as if it's some incredible new INVENTION.

Many scientists will have to CONTRIBUTE to the solution of the great PROBLEM; they will have to follow up and MEASURE all those phenomena in which the atomic structure is DIRECTLY expressed.

Poetry is but ANOTHER FORM of inquiry into the nature of phenomena, using with its own UNIQUE procedures and TOOLS.

People sense that our REACTION to phenomena such as epidemics or religious WAR is not that different to how we reacted to plagues or to battles a millennia ago.

A considerable number of persons are ABLE to PROTECT themselves against the outbreak of serious NEUROTIC phenomena only through intense work.

Truth is of no practical VALUE to mankind save as it affects terrestrial PHENOMENA, hence the discoveries of science should be concealed or glossed over wherever they conflict with ORTHODOXY.

I don't WANT to be one of those BOSSES... taking credit for phenomena that are out of my CONTROL.

I TRY to WRITE about THINGS, PLACES, events, and phenomena I know about personally. That helps make the NOVELS more genuine.

The POSSIBILITY of OBSERVING the developments of the psychical life of the child as natural phenomena and experimental reactions transforms the school itself in action into a KIND of scientific laboratory for the psychogenetic study of MAN.
