“If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.”
—RenĂ© Descartes (via vashti)
Ways of Seeing
“Today the attitudes and values which informed that tradition [of the European nude] are expressed through other more widely diffused media — advertising, journalism, television. But the essential way of seeing women, the essential use to which their images are put, has not changed. Women are depicted in a quite different way from men — not because the feminine is different from the masculine — but because the ‘ideal’ spectator is always assumed to be male and the image of the woman is designed to flatter him.”
John Berger
