The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us

What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions. Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and pecularities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death. The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us. Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life

If society abolishes poetry it commits spiritual suicide.

Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life
