Make all visual distinctions as subtle as possible, but still clear and effective.

Edward Tufte

W. S. Merwin

Mundane humans create distinctions between themselves, distinctions that seem ridiculous to any Shadowhunter. Their distinctions are based on race, religion, national identity, any of a dozen minor and irrelevant markers. ~ Valentine

Cassandra Clare

I am a great believer in found families and I'm not a great believer in blood.

Joss Whedon

I'm a big non-believer in manual driver and kernel configuration, be it visual or not.

Linus Torvalds

I'm a visual thinker. With almost all of my writing, I start with something that's visual: either the way someone says something that is visual or an actual visual description of a scene and color.

Gerald Vizenor

Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.

Thomas Aquinas

Usually in theater, the visual repeats the verbal. The visual dwindles into decoration. But I think with my eyes. For me, the visual is not an afterthought, not an illustration of the text. If it says the same thing as the words, why look? The visual must be so compelling that a deaf man would sit though the performance fascinated.

Robert Wilson

Well, I think my stand-up is often kind of visual. Not like Carrot Top visual, but visual.

Michael Ian Black

Labour is a great leveler of all distinctions.

Mahatma Gandhi

While I am a great believer in the free enterprise system and all that it entails, I am an even stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and pollution-free environment.

Barry Goldwater

I've had three Eurovision winners: two with Johnny Logan and one with Linda Martin and even Jedward did great, because 'Lipstick' was a great song and they had a great show. It was a great visual.

Louis Walsh

As far as stimulus from the visual arts specifically, there is today in most of us a visual appetite that is hungry, that is acutely undernourished. One might go so far as to say that Protestants in particular suffer from a form of visual anorexia. It is not that there is a lack of visual stimuli, but rather a lack of wholesomeness of form and content amidst the all-pervasive sensory overload.

John Walford

I don't necessarily think there's a difference in terms of how the film industry and the ad industry view visual effects. If visual effects (or the lack thereof) are used as a tool to strengthen an idea, they're great. If they are meant to carry more of a load in the absence of a concept, they're a waste and a distraction.
