"The world keeps ending but new people..." - Quote by John Updike

“Adversity in immunological doses has its uses; more than that crushes.”

“It is not an aesthetic misstep to make the viewer aware of the paint and the painter's hand. Such an empathetic awareness lies at the heart of aesthetic appreciation.”

“Accent the ugly until it becomes gorgeous.”

“By degrees we may come to know the primitive sense of the permanent objects of nature, so that the world shall be to us an open book, and every form significant of its hidden life and final cause.”

“Be The Peace You Wish To See In The World!”

“He who treasures his body as much as the world can care for the world.”

“In the kingdom of ends everything has either a price or a dignity. Whatever has a price can be replaced by something else as its equivalent; on the other hand, whatever is above all price, and therefore admits of no equivalent, has a dignity. But that which constitutes the condition under which alone something can be an end in itself does not have mere relative worth, i.e., price, but an intrinsic worth, i.e., a dignity.”

“Mankind censure injustice fearing that they may be the victims of it, and not because they shrink from committing it.”

“Because I have confidence in the power of truth, and of the spirit, I have confidence in the future of mankind.”
