“Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality. It speaks of what seems fantastic and unreal to those who have lost the simple intuitions which are the test of reality; and, as it is often found at war with its age, so it makes no account of history, which is fabled by the daughters of memory.” WarRealitySeemsAgePoetryFoundLostSpeakMemoriesSimpleDaughterTestsAccountsIntuitionFantasticRevoltUnrealActualityArtifice Book:Delphi Complete Works of James Joyce (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of James Joyce (Illustrated)

“The voice of our age seems by no means favorable to art, at all events to that kind of art to which my inquiry is directed. The course of events has given a direction to the genius of the time that threatens to remove it continually further from the ideal of art. For art has to leave reality, it has to raise itself bodily above necessity and neediness; for art is the daughter of freedom, and it requires its prescriptions and rules to be furnished by the necessity of spirits and not by that of matter.” KindMeanArtMatterRealitySeemsAgeSpiritCoursesGivenVoiceEventsGeniusDaughterArt IsIdealsRaisesRemoveInquiryPrescriptionsNeediness Book:The Works of Frederick Schiller: Top Classic of German Source: The Works of Frederick Schiller: Top Classic of German

“Developing Christlike attributes in our lives is not an easy task, especially when we move away from generalities and abstractions and begin to deal with real life. The test comes in practicing what we proclaim. The reality check comes when Christlike attributes need to become visible in our lives—as husband or wife, as father or mother, as son or daughter, in our friendships, in our employment, in our business, and in our recreation. We can recognize our growth, as can those around us, as we gradually increase our capacity to 'act in all holiness before [Him]' (D&C 43:9).” NeedsRealRealityMovingLife IsMotherFatherEasyGrowthDealsOur LivesWifeSonHusbandDaughterCapacityTasksTestsIncreaseReal LifeChecksEmploymentDevelopingVisibleHolinessAttributesAbstractionRecreationGeneralitiesEasy Tasks Author:Dieter F.
