Objectivity (n.) is established from concepts which are constituted perspectivally... the more affects we allow to speak about one thing and the more eyes we can use to observe one thing, the more complete will our objective concept of this thing be.
Objectivity (n.) in its pure form would characterize a race of eunuchs set to guard the great historical world-harem — making sure nothing comes out of history but more history, and no real events.
Objectivity (n.) for naive historians means judging the past by the everyday standards of the present moment — the task being to adapt the past to contemporary triviality.
Objectivity (n.) in its highest sense is the artist's moment, not the camera's: the idea that things photograph themselves on a passive medium is bad mythology — what results may be artistically true, never historically.
Objectivity (n.) and justice have nothing to do with one another: it is the dramatist's silent work of weaving events into a whole, spinning man's web over the past — expressing his artistic drive, not his drive to truth.
Objectivity (n.) is the name for classicists and the Greeks meaning nothing to one another — as if he to whom the past means nothing were the proper man to describe it.
Objectivity (n.) as a virtue: selflessness is letting oneself be emptied into a sheet of plate glass; magnanimity is renouncing all force of one's own by worshipping force itself; justice is watching which scale grows heavier.
Objectivity (n.) grows with the number of eyes: the more affects we allow to speak about one thing, the more complete our concept of it; to suspend every affect would be to castrate the intellect.
Objectivity (n.) may be only a difference of degree within the subjective: what changes slowly presents itself as objectively enduring, "in-itself."
Objectivity (n.) as a philosophical outlook may be a sign that will and strength are small: men of knowledge, who only ascertain what is, cannot fix anything as it ought to be; artists at least fix an image.
Objectivity (n.) opens us to distant cultures not by pity but by a lack of partiality that takes delight in what once made people suffer — we are moved to tears and do not feel like helping.
Objectivity (n.) as impersonality — acting as juror, soldier, minister, critic — lets us permit ourselves forbidden affects while feeling we are making a sacrifice.
Objectivity (n.) may be only a difference of degree within the subjective — what changes slowly becomes for us something 'objectively' lasting.
Objectivity (n.) = lack of personality, lack of will, incapacity to love.
Objectivity (n.) as we have it is not compassion but an unprejudiced nature that delights in a hundred things that once made men suffer — suffering in all its nuances is now interesting to us.
Objectivity (n.) as impersonality lets us, as means of a collective being — juror, soldier, minister, critic — permit ourselves affects and actions we would refuse as individuals, and feel we are making a sacrifice.
