Design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but that's because the designer himself the engineer is explained by natural selection.

Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother. There is no transition into being a woman you literally become a mum and being a mum means you always love someone else more than yourself and it is an unexplainable situation.

As for everything else so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained.

Bracketing has turned all my experiences remembered and present into a gallery of miracles where I wander around dazzled by the beauty of events I cannot explain.

Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.

I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.

There is no definition of beauty but when you can see someone's spirit coming through something unexplainable that's beautiful to me.

Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.

I think that one's art is a growth inside one. I do not think one can explain growth. It is silent and subtle. One does not keep digging up a plant to see how it grows.

Photography is a major force in explaining man to man.
