    • A Fish Out Of Water. Cause: Environmental dissonance. Ordinarily, we expect fish to be in water, which is their natural environment. By placing a fish outside of water, we’ve created cognitive dissonance since it does not align with our expectations or the norm.
    • A Snowman In The Desert. Cause: Environmental dissonance. A snowman in the desert presents two contradictory elements. The key concept here is that snowmen are associated with cold climates and not the hot and dry conditions of a desert.
    • A Knight In Modern-Day New York. Cause: Temporal dissonance. A knight in modern-day New York represents temporal dissonance.

Frankfurt presents integrity as a kind of integration or whole‐heartedness,...

    There is an unfortunate tendency to romanticize artistic poverty, to be downright suspicious of art's commercial success. We thrive on the story that Van Gogh sold only three paintings, for a pittance, during his lifetime, or that Emily Dickinson's poems lay unpublished in her recluse's drawer.
