A philosophy of freedom must set out from the experience of thinking, for it is through this experience of thinking that a human being discovers his own self, finds his bearings as an independent personality.

A phoenix, Beirut seems to always pull itself out its ashes, reinvents itself, has been conquered numerous times in its 7,000-year history, yet it survives by both becoming whatever its conquerors wished it to be and retaining its idiosyncratic persona.

A phone tree isn't an ancient form of political organizing, but you have to call every person.

A photo app is a utility. It's like comparing 'Twitter' to Microsoft Word. If you want to be an author, you're not always going to constrain yourself to 140 characters.
‐‐ Kevin Systrom
A photo is a creation.
‐‐ Eva Herzigova
A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
‐‐ Brigitte Bardot
A photograph can make you feel so many different things. When you look at war photographs of Vietnam, or something similar, it makes you feel anguish and sadness and pain. Then in other moments, when you look at Jackie Kennedy walking down Fifth Avenue, that makes you feel glory and richness.
‐‐ Mario Testino
A photograph doesn't gain weight or lose weight, or change from being happy to being sad. It's frozen. You can use it, then recycle it.

A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks.

A physical therapist does some unbelievable stretching with me.
‐‐ Brian O'Driscoll
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
‐‐ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
A physician is obligated to consider more than a diseased organ, more even than the whole man - he must view the man in his world.
‐‐ Harvey Cushing
A physician's physiology has much the same relation to his power of healing as a cleric's divinity has to his power of influencing conduct.

A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself.
‐‐ Niels Bohr
A piazza is not a plaza. The plaza is the theme park of the piazza; the plaza is the commercial version. A piazza is an empty space with no function. This is what Europeans understand.
‐‐ Renzo Piano
A picador is the guy in a bullfight who helps make sure the matador doesn't get killed by distracting the bull. That's what TV writing is. You're just distracting the bull long enough to stick around for the next set of commercials.
‐‐ Christopher Lloyd
A pick-up artist gave me a good piece of advice: the three most important things in a relationship are honesty, trust and respect, and if you don't have those, you don't have love.

A picture book is a small door to the enormous world of the visual arts, and they're often the first art a young person sees.
‐‐ Tomie dePaola
A picture is a fact.
‐‐ Ludwig Wittgenstein
A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?
‐‐ Ernst Haas
A picture is worth 10K words - but only those to describe the picture. Hardly any sets of 10K words can be adequately described with pictures.
‐‐ Alan Perlis
A picture is worth a thousand words.
‐‐ Unknown
A picture is worth a thousand words. A satellite image is worth a million dollars.
‐‐ Sarah Parcak
A picture is worth a thousand words. An interface is worth a thousand pictures.
‐‐ Ben Shneiderman
A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.
‐‐ Henri Matisse
A picture of me as this super affable sales guy gets painted, but in actuality, I'm pretty driven by hard work and love working with teams. What people discount is, I grew up in a very small blue-collar town in Massachusetts and have basically scrapped my way career wise.
‐‐ Tim Armstrong
A picture story just doesn't run like a film. It doesn't have 24 frames per second. It doesn't deal with this illusion of movement.
‐‐ Ben Katchor
A pie dough comes together exactly like a biscuit only there is very, very little liquid and no leavening involved. Other than that, the same rules apply. My best advice: handle the dough as little as possible.

A piece of wall can be visually disintegrated from the whole into a separate triangle by plunging a diagonal of light from edge to edge on the wall; that is, side to floor, for instance.
‐‐ Dan Flavin
A pig has a plow on the end of its nose because it does meaningful work with it. It is built to dig and create soil disturbance, something it can't do in a concentrated feeding environment. The omnivore has historically been a salvage operation for food scraps around the homestead.
‐‐ Joel Salatin
A pig resembles a saint in that he is more honored after death than during his lifetime.
‐‐ Irma S. Rombauer
A pig's trotter is a fantastic thing. The first night of my honeymoon in Paris, my wife fell asleep in her steak tartare, so my trotter kept me company.
‐‐ Fergus Henderson
A Pike, in the California dialect, is a native of Missouri, Arkansas, Northern Texas, or Southern Illinois. The first emigrants that came over the plains were from Pike County, Missouri; but as the phrase, 'a Pike County man,' was altogether too long for this short life of ours, it was soon abbreviated into 'a Pike.'
‐‐ Bayard Taylor
A pile of bills and statements - whether paid or not - is a sign that someone is clueless about what's coming in and going out.
