Хейн, Пит: Цитаты на английском языке

“Art is this: art is the solution of a problem which cannot be expressed explicitly until it is solved.”

As quoted in Man Creates Art Creates Man (1973) by Duane Preble, p. 14
Variant translation: Art is solving problems that cannot be formulated before they have been solved. The shaping of the question is part of the answer.
As quoted in Architecture: form, space, and order (2007) by Francis D.K. Ching, p. ix
Контексте: After all, what is art? Art is the creative process and it goes through all fields. Einstein’s theory of relativity — now that is a work of art! Einstein was more of an artist in physics than on his violin.
Art is this: art is the solution of a problem which cannot be expressed explicitly until it is solved.

“But we are in a straitjacket, having to accept one or the other, when often some intermediate form would be better.”

As quoted in Scandinavian Review (2003), by the American-Scandinavian Foundation, p. 18
Контексте: Man is the animal that draws lines which he himself then stumbles over. In the whole pattern of civilization there have been two tendencies, one toward straight lines and rectangular patterns and one toward circular lines. There are reasons, mechanical and psychological, for both tendencies. Things made with straight lines fit well together and save space. And we can move easily — physically or mentally — around things made with round lines. But we are in a straitjacket, having to accept one or the other, when often some intermediate form would be better.

“Those
that are looking
for nothing — will find it.”

Look And Thou Shalt Find

Контексте: Foes
of what's cooking
see no worth behind it.
Those
that are looking
for nothing — will find it.

and err
and err again
but less
and less
and less.”

The Road to Wisdom?
Grooks
Контексте: The road to wisdom? — Well, it's plain
and simple to express:
Err
and err
and err again
but less
and less
and less.

“The human spirit sublimates
the impulses it thwarts;
a healthy sex life mitigates
the lust for other sports.”

Hint And Suggestion : Admonitory grook addressed to youth
Grooks

“The universe may
be as great as they say.
But it wouldn't be missed
if it didn't exist.”

Nothing Is Indespensable : Grook to warn the universe against megalomania
Grooks

“Co-existence
or no existence.”

That Is The Question : Hamlet Anno Domini
Grooks

“Idiots are really
one hundred per cent
when they are also
intelligent.”

The Final Touch : Portrait of nobody in particular
Grooks

“Losing one glove
is certainly painful,
but nothing
compared to the pain,
of losing one,
throwing away the other,
and finding
the first one again.”

Consolation Grook, his first grook, published in Politiken (April 1940) as translated in Grooks (1966)
