Sivu 85 - There is great truth in this assertion of Maeterlinck: "It is the way in which our hours of freedom are spent that determines, as much as war or as labor, the moral worth of a nation.
Sivu 242 - One may even affirm that a poem draws the nearer to beauty and loftier truth in the measure that it eliminates words that merely explain the action, and substitutes for them others that reveal, not the so-called ''soulstate," but I know not what intangible and unceasing striving of the soul towards its own beauty and truth.
Sivu 43 - We are publicly, continuously and shamefully insulted from the day of our birth to the day of our death. And yet we are told not to be "self-conscious"; to lie about the truth in order to make it "come true;" to grapple with the "philosophy of evolution;" and not to make people "feel ugly
Sivu 93 - Memling ; but from the moment that we have something to say to each other, we are compelled to hold our peace : and if at such times we do not listen to the urgent commands of...
Sivu 252 - When I go to a theatre, I feel as though I were spending a few hours with my ancestors, who conceived life as something that was primitive, arid and brutal...
Sivu 251 - Indeed, it is not in the actions but in the words that are found the beauty and greatness of tragedies that are truly beautiful and great; and this not solely in the words that accompany and explain the action, for there must perforce lie another dialogue besides the one which is superficially necessary.
Sivu 25 - To those round about us there happen incessant and countless adventures, whereof every one, it would seem, contains a germ of heroism ; but the adventure passes away, and heroic deed, is there none. But when Jesus Christ met the Samaritan, met a few children, an adulterous woman, then did humanity rise three times in succession to the level of God.
Sivu 139 - Even he who rejects your words will in spite of himself have taken a step towards the beauty that is within him. Nothing of beauty dies without having purified something, nor can aught of beauty be lost. Let us not be afraid of sowing it along the road. It may remain there for weeks or years: but like the diamond, it cannot dissolve, and finally there will pass by some one whom its glitter will attract; he will pick it up and go his way rejoicing. Then why keep back a lofty, beautiful word, for that...
Sivu 255 - Hilda and Solness are, I believe, the first characters in drama who feel, for an instant, that they are living in the atmosphere of the soul ; and the discovery of this essential life that exists in them, beyond the life of every day, conies fraught with terror.
Sivu 252 - I feel as though I were spending a few hours with my ancestors, who conceived life as something that was primitive, arid and brutal ; but this conception of theirs scarcely even lingers in my memory, and surely it is not one that I can share. I am shown a deceived husband killing his wife, a woman poisoning her lover, a son avenging his father, a father slaughtering his children, children putting their father to death, murdered kings, ravished virgins, imprisoned citizens — in a word, all the 103...
