To Regard Such A Positive Mental Science

The Aim Of Science Is To Apprehend This Purely Intelligible World As A Thing In Itself, An Object Which Is What It Is Independently Of All Thinking, And Thus Antithetical To The Sensible World.... The World Of Thought Is The Universal, The Timeless And Spaceless, The Absolutely Necessary, Whereas The World Of Sense Is The Contingent, The Changing And Moving Appearance Which Somehow Indicates Or Symbolizes It.

If An Artist May Say Nothing Except What He Has Invented By His Own Sole Efforts, It Stands To Reason He Will Be Poor In Ideas. If He Could Take What He Wants Wherever He Could Find It, As Euripides And Dante And Michelangelo And Shakespeare And Bach Were Free, His Larder Would Always Be Full, And His Cookery Might Be Worth Tasting.

The Dance Is The Mother Of All Languages.

Art Has No Cosmology, It Gives Us No View Of The Universe; Every Distinct Work Of Art Gives Us A Little Cosmology Of Its Own, And No Ingenuity Will Combine All These Into A Single Whole.

Classical Art Stands For Form; Romantic Art For Content.
