If a work of art is a projection of feeling, its kinship with organic nature will emerge, no matter through how many transformations, logically and inevitably.

The arts objectify subjective reality, and subjectify outward experience of nature. Art education is the education of feeling, and a society that neglects it gives itself up to formless emotion. Bad art is corruption of feeling.

A philosophy is characterized more by the formulation of its problem than by its solution of them.

All persistent practices in art have a creative function. They may serve several ends, but the chief one is the shaping of the work.

Nature, as man has always known it, he knows no more. Since he has learned to esteem signs above symbols, to suppress his emotional reactions in favor of practical ones and make use of nature instead of holding so much of it sacred, he has altered the face, if not the heart, of reality.

Philosophizing is a process of making sense out of experience.

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