“You often hear attacks on international adoption as robbing a child of his or her culture, and that's both true and false.

Maybe the song that is to be sung through us is the most beautiful requiem for an irreplaceable planet or maybe it's a song of joyous rebirth as we create a new culture that doesn't destroy its world.

And yet, I realized that what I had actually neglected was the more spiritual side of myself, which has always been there.

“Men are so inclined to content themselves with what is commonest; the spirit and the senses so easily grow dead to the impressions of the beautiful and perfect, that every one should study, by all methods, to nourish in his mind the faculty of feeling these things. ...For this reason, one ought every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.” IfsMenShouldMindLittlesReasonFeelingsBeautifulSpiritSongCultureSpeakGrowsPerfectStudyFineOughtMethodSensesImpressionReasonableFaculty Author:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“If one believes philosophers, then what we call religion is only a deliberately popularized or an instinctively artless philosophy. Poets seem to consider religion rather as a variation of poetry which by misjudging its proper beautiful game takes itself too seriously and one-sidedly. Philosophy, however, admits and recognizes that it can begin and complete itself only with religion. Poetry seeks only to strive for the infinite and despises worldly utility and culture, which are the true antitheses of religion. Eternal peace among artists is thus not far away.” IfsBelievePhilosophySeemsBeautifulPoetryArtistReligionCultureGamesPoetEternalPhilosophicalInfiniteStrivePhilosopherDespiseFar AwayWorldlyUtilityVariationAntithesisEternal Peace Author:Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
