Gratitude Is The Most Exquisite

In Loving Things And The Being In Them Man Should Rather Draw Things Up To The Human Level Than Reduce Humanity To Their Measure.

A Single Idea, If It Is Right, Saves Us The Labor Of An Infinity Of Experiences.

It Is Necessary That The Object That The Artist Is Shaping, Whether It Be A Vase Of Clay Or A Fishing Boat, Be Significant Of Something Other Than Itself. This Object Must Be A Sign As Well As An Object; A Meaning Must Animate It, And Make It Say More Than It Is.

Thus Society Is Born, As Something Required By Nature, And (because This Nature Is Human Nature) As Something Accomplished Through A Work Of Reason And Will, And Freely Consented To. Man Is A Political Animal, Which Means That The Human Person Craves Political Life, Communal Life, Not Only With Regard To The Family Community, But With Regard To The Civil Community.

Poetic Experience Is Distinct In Nature From Mystical Experience. Because Poetry Emanates From The Free Creativity Of The Spirit,it Is From The Very Start Oriented Toward Expression, And Terminates In A Word Proffered, It Wants To Speak; Whereas Mystical Because It Emanates From The Deepest Longing Of The Spirit Bent On Knowing, Tends Of Itself Toward Silence And Internal Fruition. Poetic Experience Is Busy With The Created World And The Enigmatic And Innumerable Relations Of Existents With One Another, Not With The Principle Of Being.
