A Single Ego Is An Absurdly Narrow

It Is A Terrible Error To Let Any Natural Impulse, Physical Or Mental, Stagnate. Crush It Out, If You Will, And Be Done With It; Or Fulfil It, And Get It Out Of The System; But Do Not Allow It To Remain There And Putrefy. The Suppression Of The Normal Sex Instinct, For Example, Is Responsible For A Thousand Ills. In Puritan Countries One Inevitably Finds A Morbid Preoccupation With Sex Coupled With Every Form Of Perversion And Degeneracy.

Here Again, There Is No Tabulation; For Us It Is Left To Sacrifice Literary Charm, And Even Some Accuracy, In Order To Bring Out The One Great Point. The Cause Of Human Sectarianism Is Not Lack Of Sympathy In Thought, But In Speech; And This It Is Our Not Unambitious Design To Remedy.

If You Examine The Highest Poetry In The Light Of Common Sense, You Can Only Say That It Is Rubbish; And In Actual Fact You Cannot So Examine It At All, Because There Is Something In Poetry Which Is Not In The Words Themselves, Which Is Not In The Images Suggested By The Words 'o Windy Star Blown Sideways Up The Sky!' True Poetry Is Itself A Magic Spell Which Is A Key To The Ineffable.

Ordinary Morality Is Only For Ordinary People.
