“He who sings scares away his woes.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Behind your thoughts and feelings, my brother, there is a mighty lord, an unknown sage--his name is self.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Real art, like the wife of an affectionate husband, needs no ornaments. But counterfeit art, like a prostitute, must always be decked out. The cause of production of real art is the artist's inner need to express a feeling that has accumulated, just as for a mother the cause of sexual conception is love. The cause of counterfeit art, as of prostitution, is gain. The consequence of true art is the introduction of a new feeling into the intercourse of life, as the consequence of a wife's love is the birth of a new man into life. The consequences of counterfeit art are the perversion of man, pleasure which never satisfies, and the weakening of man's spiritual strength.”
What is art? • Leo Tolstoy“Men are still men. The despot's wickedness, Comes of ill teaching, and of power's excess-- Comes of the purple he from childhood wears, Slaves would be tyrants if the chance were theirs.”
The Vanished City • VICTOR HUGO“If they drive God from the earth, we shall shelter Him underground.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski
