“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.”
—René 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
