Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.

The real trouble with war (modern war) is that it gives no one a chance to kill the right people.

The only chance for victory over the brainwash is the right of every man to have his ideas judged one at a time. You never get clarity as long as you have these packaged words, as long as a word is used by twenty-five people in twenty-five different ways. That seems to me to be the first fight, if there is going to be any intellect left.

We do NOT know the past in chronological sequence. It may be convenient to lay it out anesthetized on the table with dates pasted on here and there, but what we know we know by ripples and spirals eddying out from us and from our own time.

All great art is born of the metropolis.

From the colour the nature And by the nature the sign! Beatific spirits welding together As in one ash-tree in Ygdrasail.

The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet black bough.
