Stran 216 - The task of art is enormous. Through the influence of real art, aided by science, guided by religion, that peaceful co-operation of man which is now maintained by external means, — by our law-courts, police, charitable institutions, factory inspection, and so forth, — should be obtained by man's free and joyous activity.
Stran 166 - The form of association, however, which if mankind continue to improve, must be expected in the end to predominate, is not that which can exist between a capitalist as chief, and workpeople without a voice in the management, but the association of the labourers themselves on terms of equality, collectively owning the capital with which they carry on their operations, and working under managers elected and removable by themselves.
Stran 219 - By human nature, I suppose, we may understand those sentiments and impulses that are human in being superior to those of lower animals, and also in the sense that they belong to mankind at large, and not to any particular race or time.
Stran 47 - We are, he would say, as dwarfs mounted on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more and further than they ; yet not by virtue of the keenness of our eyesight, nor through the tallness of our stature, but because we are raised and borne aloft upon that giant mass.
Stran 211 - To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced and having evoked it in oneself then by means of movements, lines, colours, sounds, or forms expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling that others experience the same feeling — this is the activity of art.
Stran 211 - Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that others are infected by these feelings and also experience them.
Stran 119 - An infallible sign of your decay of wealth is the falling of rents, and the raising of them would be worth the nation's care ; for in that, and not in the falling of interest, lies the true advantage of the landed man, and with him of the public.
Stran 127 - In every civilized society, in every society where the distinction <>f ranks has once been completely established, there have been always two different schemes or systems of morality current at the same time ; of which the one may be called the strict or austere ; the other the liberal, or, if you will, the loose system.
Stran 14 - is preposterous in the extreme. It is of so extravagant a character as to be positively absurd. Then look at the recklessness of your proceedings ! You are proposing to cut up our estates in all directions for the purpose of making an unnecessary road. Do you think for one moment of the destruction of property involved by it?
Stran 14 - I detest railroads; nothing is more distasteful to me than to hear the echo of our hills reverberating with the noise of hissing railroad engines, running through the heart of our hunting country, and destroying that noble sport to which I have been accustomed from my childhood.
