I think of workshopping as a way to read your own work through the eyes of others - a scene that you write gets refracted by those around you, and suddenly you have several different readings of it, each with a different momentum for how it might be retooled or reshaped.

A lot of our insights are based on the ways in which people spend time at museums. They're curious, open, interested, and engaging. They want to express themselves and see their own identity refracted through the museum's.

Immanence, or complicity, allows the writer to be a kind of shock absorber of the culture: to reflect back its 'whatness,' refracted through the sensibility of his consciousness.

Iain Sinclair

If the landscape changes, then I don't know who I am either. The landscape is a refracted autobiography. As it disappears you lose your sense of self.

British Writer

Jonathan Galassi

Poems are endlessly renewable resources. Whatever you bring to them, at whatever stage of life, gets mirrored back, refracted, reread in new ways.

We all, to some degree, absorb the mythologies around us, our vision refracted by the prisms of our particular time and place.

Like all writers, I draw from life as I know it; but it's a refracted kind of reality, and none of it is factually true.

American Novelist

Bruce Dickinson

I shall refract myself, yes, I shall no longer be known as the prism.

English Musician

Refract is used when light crosses boundaries like air to water, altering its course.

Medium Change

Use 'refract' to explain why we see beautiful patterns like rainbows in nature.

Natural Phenomena

'Refract' isn't the same as 'reflect.' It's about bending within, not bouncing back.

Not Reflection

In academic and scientific contexts, 'refract' is precise about wave behavior across mediums.

Physics Specific

Understanding 'refract' in physics involves knowing that waves change speed when refracted.

Wave Speed

Although often about light, 'refract' can relate to other waves, like sound or water waves.

Not Just Light

 a transparent, convex structure whose shape refracts light to enable sight. In humans, this lens is curved to process light waves traveling through air. But sea lions need to see their best at hundreds of meters deep. To accommodate, their eyes have a much rounder lens to refract light underwater,

 then you can experience this. It's lovely because it is an embodiment of something refreshing and delicious. I might like it more than you like it, because I know how bloody hard it is to do it. It's stupefyingly difficult to make something that refracts light like that,

 Near the shore, the shallower seafloor constrains the motion of the waves to occur in a more limited region than out at sea, concentrating the wave energy near the surface. If the topography of the shoreline is even and smooth, this will refract the waves to become more

 it refracts, or bends as it exits into air. But if the ray travels at a shallow angle, it’ll bend so far that it stays trapped, bouncing along inside the glass. Under the right condition, something normally transparent to light can instead hide it from the world.

 Total lunar eclipses are the most striking of the three types because they turn the moon a sunset red. While shorter, blue wavelengths of light are scattered outward by the earth's atmosphere, longer, red wavelengths are refracted, or bent,

 But many people develop refractive errors, either during childhood as their eyes are growing, or in later life as their eyes age. Imperfections in the cornea and lens cause refracted light to be focused in front of or behind the retina,
