Every work of art reaches man ...

Every work of art reaches man in his inner powers. It reaches him more profoundly and insidiously than any rational proposition, either cogent demonstration or sophistry. For it strikes him with two terrible weapons, Intuition and Beauty, and at the single root in him of all his energies... Art and Poetry awaken the dreams of man, and his longings, and reveal to him some of the abysses he has in himself.

The tragedy of modern democracies is that they have not yet succeeded in effecting democracy.

The love of Americans for thei...

The love of Americans for their country is not an indulgent, it is an exacting and chastising love; they cannot tolerate its defects.

Everywhere in the world the industrial regime tends to make the unorganized or unorganizable individual, the pauper, into the victim of a kind of human sacrifice offered to the gods of civilization.

What makes man most unhappy is to be deprived not of that which he had, but of that which he did not have, and did not really know.

The division between the usefu...

The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.

We don't love qualities; we love a person; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as their qualities.

We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.

Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy.

Americans seem sometimes to believe that if you are a thinker you must be a frowning bore, because thinking is so dam serious.

At each epoch of history the world was in a hopeless state, and at each epoch of history the world muddled through; at each epoch the world was lost, and at each epoch it was saved.

Since science's competence ext...

Since science's competence extends to observable and measurable phenomena, not to the inner being of things, and to the means, not to the ends of human life, it would be nonsense to expect that the progress of science will provide men with a new type of metaphysics, ethics, or religion.

A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.

We do not need a truth to serve us, we need a truth that we can serve

A true Christian is a man who never for a moment forgets what God has done for him in Christ and whose whole comportment and whose activity have their root in the sentiment of gratitude.

Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.

The more the poet grows, the deeper the level of creative intuition descends into the density of his soul. Where formerly he could be moved to song, he can do nothing now, he must dig deeper.
