Culture looks beyond machinery, culture hates hatred; culture has one great passion, the passion for sweetness and light.
Seite 217 - There is no wealth but life — -life, including all its powers of love, of joy, and of admiration. That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings...
Seite 197 - I ask not for the great, the remote, the romantic; what is doing in Italy or Arabia; what is Greek art, or Provencal minstrelsy; I embrace the common, I explore and sit at the feet of the familiar, the low.
Seite 106 - I freely own, and it was indeed one principal design in offering it to the world.
