Man Is Something To Be Surpassed.

However Modest One May Be In One's Demand For Intellectual Cleanliness, One Cannot Help Feeling, When Coming Into Contact With The New Testament, A Kind Of Inexpressible Discomfiture: For The Unchecked Impudence With Which The Least Qualified Want To Raise Their Voice On The Greatest Problems, And Even Claim To Be Judges Of Such Things, Surpasses All Measure. The Shameless Levity With Which The Most Intractable Problems (life, World, God, Purpose Of Life) Are Spoken Of, As If They Were Not Problems At All But Simply Things That These Little Bigots Knew!

No Artist Will Tolerate The World For One Second As It Is.

Art Is The Highest Task And The Proper Metaphysical Activity Of This Life.

For Out Of Fear And Need Each Religion Is Born, Creeping Into Existence On The Byways Or Reason.

What? A Great Man? I Only Ever See The Ape Of His Own Ideal.
