art thinking ideas
Ideas are the old-age of art. Artists have to keep young; they must not think too much - thought is death, while art is life. Such was Emile's viewpoint.
women succeed conversation
Conversation succeeds conversation, Until there's nothing left to talk about Except truth, the perennial monologue, And no talker to dispute it but itself.
degrees consciousness
Poetry brings all possible experience to the same degree: a degree in the consciousness beyond which the consciousness itself cannot go.
looks trouble
Nature is what you don't have to trouble about. It looks after itself.
wisdom thinking people
people get wisdom from thinking, not from learning ...
god said mets
I met God. 'What,' he said, 'you already?' 'What,' I said, 'you still?
equality men relation
Spiritually, the society we have is the society of men with women present only in adjunctive relation to them, not the society of men and women in reciprocal relation. We do not have the society of human beings.
children years knowing-everything
A child should be allowed to take as long as she needs for knowing everything about herself, which is the same as learning to be herself. Even twenty-five years if necessary, or even forever. And it wouldn't matter if doing things got delayed, because nothing is really important but being oneself.
missing stories goes-on
Until the missing story of ourselves is told, nothing besides told can suffice us: we shall go on quietly craving it.
character winning evil
The problem of good and evil is not the problem of good and evil, but only the problem of evil. In opposition to good there are evil characters, but there are no good characters in opposition to evil. Evil is arguable, but good is not. Therefore the Devil always wins the argument.
women people way
Women, ever since there have been women, have had a way of being people.
