Civilization, the Known, and the Unknown

The mere subjective moment is not enough.  In terms of elevated thought and being, it is nothing.


Aesthetic perception, the imaginative sense, reveals what ideology will not, that is to say, the ways of cultural, spiritual and intellectual vision are illuminated by art, not by temporal power.

This is the truth of the free world, and it is difficult to attain, essential to sustain, and at all times and by every means it must be defended.
