We have no physical model of this endless rhythm of individuation and involvement, we do have its image in the world of art, most purely in dance.

The first impression of a work of art is its otherness from reality.

The development of beings with minds is probably the highest individuation the world has ever known, and its prehistory is the history of life on earth.

Artistic form is congruent with the dynamic forms of our direct sensuous, mental, and emotional life; works of art are projections of "felt life", as Henry James called it, into spatial, temporal, and poetic structures.

Speech is the mark of humanity. It is the normal terminus of thought.

The historian does not locate known facts in a hypothetical, general pattern of processes; his aim is to link fact to fact, one unique knowable event to another individual one that begot it.

The fairytale is irresponsible; it is frankly imaginary, and its purpose is to gratify wishes, as a dream doth flatter.
