“Wherever moral ambition exists, there right exists. And moral ambition itself must be presumed present in subconsciousness, even when the conscious self seems to reject it, so long as society has resources for bringing it into action; in much the same way that the life-saver presumes life to exist in the drowned man until he has exhausted his resources for recovering respiration.” MenWayLongSelfSeemsActionMoralAmbitionConsciousResourcesRejectsExhaustedRecoveringRespiration Author:William Ernest Hocking

“A good taste in art feels the presence or the absence of merit; a just taste discriminates the degree--the poco piu and the poco meno. A good taste rejects faults; a just taste selects excellences. A good taste is often unconscious; a just taste is always conscious. A good taste may be lowered or spoilt; a just taste can only go on refining more and more.” FeelsMayArtGoes OnTasteDegreesConsciousFaultsExcellenceAbsenceMeritUnconsciousRejectsGood TasteRefiningSpoilt Author:Anna Brownell Jameson

“Any work of art represents a series of conscious choices on the part of the artist - what color to paint, what note to play, what word to use - in that artist's attempt to share what is in his or her soul. The audience is free to accept or reject those choices; it is emphatically not free to substitute its own.” ArtSoulPlayUseArtistChoicesAcceptingAudienceShareColorConsciousSeriesNotesPaintRejectsWorks Of ArtSubstitutes Author:Leonard Pitts
“...as I reject the old time beliefs, it is not a matter of countering belief with belief, rather I can challenge the efficacy of old beliefs with sound arguments. We believe in nature and that human progress depends on the domination of man over nature. There is no conscious power behind it.
