I have not the slightest doubt that this form of individuation represents a higher stage in the evolution of mankind.

We may be sure that out of the ruins of our capitalist civilization a new religion will emerge, just as Christianity emerged from the ruins of the Roman civilization.

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.

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.

Perhaps it is this theory of all work and no play that has made the Marxist such a very dull boy.

I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration.

Creeds and castes, and all forms of intellectual and emotional grouping, belong to the past.
