We Do What We Are And We

A First-rate Soup Is More Creative Than A Second-rate Painting.

A Musician Must Make Music, An Artist Must Paint, An Poet Must Write, If He Is To Be Ultimately At Peace With Himself. What A Man Can Be, He Must Be. This Weed We Call Self-actualization….it Refers To Man’s Desire For Self-fulfillment, Namely To The Tendency For Him To Become Actually In What He Is Potentially: To Become Everything One Is Capable Of Becoming.

To The Extent That Language Forces Experiences Into Categories It Is A Screen Between Reality And The Human Being. In A Word, We Pay For Its Benefits... Therefore, While Using Language, As We Must Of Necessity, We Should Be Aware Of Its Shortcomings.

You Must Want To Be First-class ...meaning The Best, The Very Best You Are Capable Of Becoming. If You Deliberately Plan To Be Less Than You Are Capable Of Being, Then I Warn You That You'll Be Deeply Unhappy For The Rest Of Your Life. You Will Be Evading Your Own Capacities, Your Own Possibilities.

We Need Not Take Refuge In Supernatural Gods To Explain Our Saints And Sages And Heroes And Statesmen, As If To Explain Our Disbelief That Mere Unaided Human Beings Could Be That Good Or Wise.
