The Slave May Be Happy, But Happiness

The Point I Am Making Is That In The More Primitive Forms Of Society The Individual Is Merely A Unit; In More Developed Forms Of Society He Is An Independent Personality.

The Work Of Art... Is An Instrument For Tilling The Human Psyche, That It May Continue To Yield A Harvest Of Vital Beauty.

I Have Not The Slightest Doubt That This Form Of Individuation Represents A Higher Stage In The Evolution Of Mankind.

But The Further Step, By Means Of Which A Civilization Is Given Its Quality Or Culture, Is Only Attained By A Process Of Cellular Division, In The Course Of Which The Individual Is Differentiated, Made Distinct From And Independent Of The Parent Group.

It Will Be A Gay World. There Will Be Lights Everywhere Except In The Minds Of Men, And The Fall Of The Last Civilization Will Not Be Heard Above The Din.
