I call religion a natural authority, but it has usually been conceived as a supernatural authority.

It was play rather than work which enabled man to evolve his higher faculties - everything we mean by the word 'culture'.

The point I am making is that in the more primitive forms of society the individual is merely a unit; in more developed forms of society he is an independent personality.

Love works miracles in stillness.

In the evolution of mankind there has always been a certain degree of social coherence.

Once we become conscious of a feeling and attempt to make a corresponding form, we are engaged in an activity which, far from being sincere, is prepared (as any artist if he is sincere will tell you) to moderate feelings to fit the form. The artist's feeling for form is stronger than a formless feeling.

There are a few people, but a diminishing number, who still believe that Marxism, as an economic system, off era a coherent alternative to capitalism, and socialism has, indeed, triumphed in one country.
