"Many artists and scholars have pointed out that ultimately art depends on human nature." ― Steven Pinker Topic(s): Nature More From Steven Pinker "Art works because it appeals to certain faculties of the mind. Music depends on details of the auditory system, painting and sculpture on the visual system. Poetry and literature depend on language." "As many political writers have pointed out, commitment to political equality is not an empirical claim that people are clones." "By exploring the political and moral colorings of discoveries about what makes us tick, we can have a more honest science and a less fearful intellectual milieu." More In Nature "Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature."― Albert Camus "There were no temples or shrines among us save those of nature."― Charles Eastman "When we were in the design studio I always was pretending like I was in a closet asking my friend before I step out into the world what do I look like? And everybody wants that honest friend before they go and go to dinner or go to an event."― Nicole Richie
