The work of art... is an instrument for tilling the human psyche, that it may continue to yield a harvest of vital beauty.

The farther a society progresses, the more clearly the individual becomes the antithesis of the group.

The principle of equity first came into evidence in Roman jurisprudence and was derived by analogy from the physical meaning of the word.

In a sense, every tool is a machine--the hammer, the ax, and the chisel. And every machine is a tool. The real distinction is between one man using a tool with his hands and producing an object that shows at every stage the direction of his will and the impression of his personality; and a machine which is producing, without the intervention of a particular man, objects of a uniformity and precision that show no individual variation and have no personal charm. The problem is to decide whether the objects of machine production can possess the essential qualities of art.

Fantasy is a product of thought, Imagination of sensibility. If the thinking, discursive mind turns to speculation, the result isFantasy; if, however, the sensitive, intuitive mind turns to speculation, the result is Imagination. Fantasy may be visionary, but it is cold and logical. Imagination is sensuous and instinctive. Both have form, but the form of Fantasy is analogous to Exposition, that of Imagination to Narrative.

That is why I believe that art is so much more significant than either economics or philosophy. It is the direct measure of man's spiritual vision.
