Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature.

What is artistically good is whatever articulates and presents feeling to our understanding.

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.

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

One can bear anything of which one is able to conceive.

In human life, art may arise from almost any activity, and once it does so, it is launched on a long road of exploration, invention, freedom to the limits of extravagance, interference to the point of frustration, finally discipline, controlling constant change and growth.

value exists only where there is consciousness. Where nothing ever is felt, nothing matters.
