 It is not so much the example of others we imitate as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words |
| It is not the wickedness of the old regime [the masses] rise against but its weakness. |
| It is often the failure who is the pioneer in new lands, new undertakings, and new forms of expression. |
| It is part of the formidableness of a genuine mass movement that the self-sacrifice it promotes includes also a sacrifice of some of the moral sense which cramps and restrains our nature. |
| It is remarkable by how much a pinch of malice enhances the penetrating power of an idea or an opinion. Our ears, it seems, are wonderfully attuned to sneers and evil reports about our fellow men. |
| It is the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action, while the distant hope acts as an opiate. |
| It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a destiny. |
| It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities and talents. |
| It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities and talents. |
| It is the fate of every great achievement to be pounced upon by pedants and imitators who drain it of life and turn it into an orthodoxy which stifles all stirrings of originality |
| It is the individual only who is timeless. Societies, cultures, and civilizations /past and present /are often incomprehensible to outsiders, but the individual's hungers, anxieties, dreams, and preoccupations have remained unchanged through the millennia. |
| It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn. |
| It is the stretched soul that makes music, and souls are stretched by the pull of opposites /opposite bents, tastes, yearnings, loyalties. Where there is no polarity /where energies flow smoothly in one direction /there will be much doing but no music. |
| It is when power is wedded to chronic fear that it becomes formidable |
| It sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents. |
