Meaning
The quality without a name
The meaning of objects
The meaning of music
A creature of bones, not words
The shape of the sentence
To build a folly
- ââDesigned to be ruinsââ
- ââFolliesââ
- ââThermal aediculaeââ
Let the meaning choose the word
Taboo your words
The arbitrariness of the sign
- ââGods of the Wordââ
The eye does not see
The utter nothingness of being
Whereof one cannot speak
Not knowing quite what they mean
Things cannot be other than as they are

No words to describe
That is not it at all
A soft and fitful luster
Reference and Is-ness
The demand of a new word
Apparency
Fish and water
The word invents itself

The Weber-Fechner law
Thinking in situations
Naturally, practice is not preceded but followed by theory.
Such study promotes a more lasting teaching and learning
through experience. Its aim is development of creativeness
realized in discovery and invention â the criteria of creativity,
or flexibility, being imagination and fantasy. Altogether
it promotes âthinking in situations,â a new educational concept
unfortunately little known and less cultivated, so far.Not of method but of heart
In the end, teaching is a matter not of method but of heart.
The teacher actually is right and always will gain confidence
when he admits that he does not know, that he cannot decide, and,
as it often is with color, that he is unable to make a choice
or to give advice.Besides, good teaching is more a giving of right questions
than a giving of right answers.Results of a search
This book presents results of a search, not of what is academically called research.
In addition to the dedication of this book, I should like to state that my students in color have taught me more color than have books about color.
Simple forms
The concept that âthe simpler the form of a letter the simpler its readingâ was an obsession of beginning constructivism. It became something like a dogma, and is still followed by âmodernisticâ typographers.
This notion has proved to be wrong, because in reading we do not read letters but words, words as a whole, as a âword picture.â Ophthalmology has disclosed that the more the letters are differentiated from each other, the easier is the reading.
Without going into comparisons and the details, it should be realized that words consisting of only capital letters present the most difficult readingâbecause of their equal height, equal volume, and, with most, their equal width. When comparing serif letters with sans-serif, the latter provide an uneasy reading. The fashionable preference for sans-serif in text shows neither historical nor practical competence.
