“People always make war when they say they love peace.”
Peace“People always make war when they say they love peace.”
Peace“People always make war when they say they love peace.”
Peace“Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.”
Experience“Men are freest when they are most unconscious of freedom. The shout is a rattling of chains, always was.”
Freedom“Ours is an excessively conscious age. We know so much, we feel so little.”
Age“I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts, or my thoughts the result of my dreams.”
Dreams“God is only a great imaginative experience.”
Experience“The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman. The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself, and from that one resultant, from that embrace, comes every new action.”
Experience“You don't want to love - your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You aren't positive, you're negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because you've got a shortage somewhere.”
Love“In every living thing there is the desire for love.”
Love“The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters - not to talk in armies and nations and numbers - but to track it home.”
Business“Be still when you have nothing to say when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.”
Communication“I can't bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd.”
Art“Tragedy is like strong acid - it dissolves away all but the very gold of truth.”
Truth“Men! The only animal in the world to fear.”
Fear“All vital truth contains the memory of all that for which it is not true.”
Truth“Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.”
Art“Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.”
Death“Loud peace propaganda makes war seem imminent.”
Peace“The human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.”
Beauty“I am in love - and, my God, it is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.”
