“Families, I hate you! Shut-in homes, closed doors, jealous possessions of happiness.”
Fruits of the Earth • Andre Gide“The idea of beauty is the fundamental idea of everything. In the world we see only distortions of the fundamental idea, but art, by imagination, may lift itself to the height of this idea. Art is therefore akin to creation.”
What is art? • Leo Tolstoy“I have always thought that clarity is a form of courtesy that the philosopher owes; moreover, this discipline of ours considers it more truly a matter of honor today than ever before to be open to all minds … This is different from the individual sciences which increasingly [interpose] between the treasure of their discoveries and the curiosity of the profane the tremendous dragon of their closed terminology.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset““She was, as you know already without as yet knowing anything, the Lily of this valley, where she grew for heaven, filling it with the fragrance of her virtues.””
The Lily Of The Valley • Honore de Balzac“Malice is always lucky.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig
