The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.
Oscar WildeTo be entirely free, and at the same time entirely dominated by law, is the eternal paradox of human life.
Oscar WildeIn his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded....He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.
