All Artists Are Self-sacrificing Human Beings, And

Reason Is Mechanical, Wit Chemical, And Genius Organic Spirit.

An Aphorism Ought To Be Entirely Isolated From The Surrounding World Like A Little Work Of Art And Complete In Itself Like A Hedgehog.

Where Philosophy Ends, Poetry Must Commence. There Should Not Be A Common Point Of View, A Natural Manner Of Thinking Which Standsin Contrast To Art And Liberal Education, Or Mere Living; That Is, One Should Not Conceive Of A Realm Of Crudeness Beyond The Boundaries Of Education. Every Conscious Link Of An Organism Should Not Perceive Its Limits Without A Feeling For Its Unity In Relation To The Whole. For Example, Philosophy Should Not Only Be Contrasted To Non-philosophy, But Also To Poetry.

Wit Is Absolutely Sociable Spirit Or Aphoristic Genius.

The Main Thing Is To Know Something And To Say It.
