There is nothing more abstract than the visible.
Quote of the Week 22
“There is nothing more abstract than the visible.”
Also quoted as
“Nothing is more abstract than reality.”
Triggered by a visit to the “Metafisica” exhibition in Milano.
“I believe that nothing can be more abstract, more unreal, than what we actually see. We know that all we can see of the objective world, as human beings, never really exists as we see and understand it. Matter exists, of course, but has no intrinsic meaning of its own, such as the meaning that we attach to it. We can know only that a cup is a cup, that a tree is a tree.”
