| Henry Ellis
All civilization has from time to time become a thin crust over a volcano of revolution. All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on. Charm - which means the power to effect work without employing brute force - is indispensable to women. Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.I always seem to have a vague feeling that he is a Satan among musicians, a fallen angel in the darkness who is perpetually seeking to fight his way back to happiness. The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw. The prevalence of suicide, without doubt, is a test of height in civilization; it means that the population is winding up its nervous and intellectual system to the utmost point of tension and that sometimes it snaps. The Promised Land always lies on the other side of a Wilderness. Thinking in its lower grades, is comparable to paper money, and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry. To be a leader of men one must turn one's back on men. To make a mountain of a mole-hill. |
