Men do not understand books until they have a certain amount of life, or at any rate no man understands a deep book, until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.

Bok

One measure of a civilization, either of an age or of a single individual, is what that age or person really wishes to do. A man's hope measures his civilization. The attainability of the hope measures, or may measure, the civilization of his nation and time.

All great art is born of the metropolis.

Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.

Humanitet

Fullständig originalitet är naturligtvis utesluten.

Utter originality is, of course, out of the question

Original

The real trouble with war (modern war) is that it gives no one a chance to kill the right people.

Good writers are those who keep the language efficient. That is to say, keep it accurate, keep it clear.

The secret of popular writing is never to put more on a given page than the common reader can lap off it with no strain whatsoever on his habitually slack attention

Skrive

The only chance for victory over the brainwash is the right of every man to have his ideas judged one at a time. You never get clarity as long as you have these packaged words, as long as a word is used by twenty-five people in twenty-five different ways. That seems to me to be the first fight, if there is going to be any intellect left.

We do NOT know the past in chronological sequence. It may be convenient to lay it out anesthetized on the table with dates pasted on here and there, but what we know we know by ripples and spirals eddying out from us and from our own time.

The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.

In our time, the curse is monetary illiteracy, just as inability to read plain print was the curse of earlier centuries.
