More From Arne Jacobsen

Do not several sorts of rays make vibrations of several bignesses, which according to their bigness excite sensations of several colours, much after the manner that the vibrations of the air, according to their several bignesses excite sensations of several sounds? and particularly do not the most refrangible rays excite the shortest vibrations for making a sensation of deep violet, the least refrangible the largest form making a sensation of deep red, and several intermediate sorts of rays, vibrations of several intermediate bignesses to make sensations of several intemediate colours?

So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, i don't offer a solution, i ask a question: what are our options? give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. give me the options. all i want are options. and once i have all the options before me, then i comfortably and confidently make my decision.

Architecture is art. i don't think you should say that too much, but it is art. i mean, architecture is many, many things. architecture is science, is technology, is geography, is typography, is anthropology, is sociology, is art, is history. you know all this comes together. architecture is a kind of bouillabaisse, an incredible bouillabaisse. and, by the way, architecture is also a very polluted art in the sense that it's polluted by life, and by the complexity of things.
Art Mean Technology
My dad, he's definitely one of greatest writers of his generation. there is no question about it. when you are that good, when work is that good, you have to appreciate every aspect of it. it's the architecture of it, it's like looking at a frank lloyd wright building or a lautner building, it's master craftsmanship. every aspect of it intertwines in a perfectly harmonious way. that's what architecture is at its best and the architecture of my father's music is on that level.

The puritan, of course, is not entirely devoid of aesthetic feeling. he has a taste for good form; he responds to style; he is even capable of something approaching a purely aesthetic emotion. but he fears this aesthetic emotion as an insinuating distraction from his chief business in life: the sober consideration of the all-important problem of conduct. art is a temptation, a seduction, a lorelei, and the good man may safely have traffic with it when it is broken to moral uses--in other words, when its innocence is pumped out of it, and it is purged of gusto.
Art Men Broken
People will make worse financial decisions for them if they're choosing from a lot of options than if they're choosing from a few options. if they have more options they're more likely to avoid stocks and put all their money in money market accounts, which doesn't even grow at the rate of inflation.

I am delighted if people find that kind of sustenance in novels, but perhaps it's because they don't read the scripture that they are comparing it to, which would perhaps provide deeper sustenance than many contemporary novels.
