inspirational education thinking
People's behavior makes sense if you think about it in terms of their goals, needs, and motives.
eye jewels wonderful
What a wonderful phenomenon it is, carefully considered, when the human eye, that jewel of organic structures, concentrates its moist brilliance on another human creature!
adventure sadness men
The observations and encounters of a devotee of solitude and silence are at once less distinct and more penetrating than those of the sociable man; his thoughts are weightier, stranger, and never without a tinge of sadness. Images and perceptions which might otherwise be easily dispelled by a glance, a laugh, an exchange of comments, concern him unduly, they sink into mute depths, take on significance, become experiences, adventures, emotions.
thinking long term
I don't think anyone is thinking long-term now.
views interesting meticulous
We do not fear being called meticulous, inclining as we do to the view that only the exhaustive can be truly interesting.
passionate demand vivid
What pleases the public is lively and vivid delineation which makes no demands on the intellect; but passionate and absolutist youth can only be enthralled by a problem.

Art is the funnel, as it were, through which spirit is poured into life.
children blue secret-love
But my deepest and most secret love belongs to the fair-haired and the blue-eyed, the bright children of life, the happy, the charming and the ordinary.

I stand between two worlds. I am at home in neither, and I suffer in consequence. You artists call me a bourgeois, and the bourgeois try to arrest me...I don't know which makes me feel worse.

There are so many different kinds of stupidity, and cleverness is one of the worst.
writing people difficult
A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.
running fashion art
To allow only the kind of art that the average man understands is the worst small-mindedness and the murder of mind and spirit. It is my conviction that the intellect can be certain that in doing what most disconcerts the crowd, in pursuing the most daring, unconventional advances and explorations, it will in some highly indirect fashion serve man - and in the long run, all men.
time hours mood
Time cools, time clarifies; no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours.
positive simple endurance
For to be poised against fatality, to meet adverse conditions gracefully, is more than simple endurance; it is an act of aggression, a positive triumph.
