“Gastronomers of the year 1825, who find sateity in the lap of abundance, and dream of some newly-made dishes, you will not enjoy the discoveries which science has in store for the year 1900, such as foods drawn from the mineral kingdom, liqueurs produced by the pressure of a hundred atmospheres; you will never see the importations which travelers yet unborn will bring to you from that half of the globe which has still to be discovered or explored.

“[The artist] speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty, and pain; to the latent feeling of fellowship with all creation--and to the subtle but invincible conviction of solidarity in dreams, in joy, in sorrow, in aspirations, in illusions, in hope, in fear which binds together all humanity--the dead to the living and the living to the unborn.” ArtFeelingsDreamPainTogetherJoyArtistHumanitySpeakWonderCreativityOur LivesMysteryCreationSorrowIllusionCapacityDelightConvictionPityAspirationSubtleSolidarityFellowshipInvincibleUnbornLatentCreating Beauty Book:The Portable Conrad Source: The Portable Conrad

“If we lived forever, if the dews of Adashino never vanished, if the crematory smoke on Toribeyama never faded, men would hardly feel the pity of things. The beauty of life is in its impermanence. Man lives the longest of all living things... and even one year lived peacefully seems very long.

“Above all things I entreat you to preserve your faith in Christ. It is my wealth in poverty, my joy in sorrow, my peace amid tumult. For all the evil I have committed, my gracious pardon; and for every effort, my exceeding great reward. I have found it to be so. I can smile with pity at the infidel whose vanity makes him dream that I should barter such a blessing for the few subtleties from the school of the cold-blooded sophists.” ShouldI CanDreamSchoolJoyEvilFoundChristWealthEffortPovertyColdSorrowBlessingAll ThingsRewardsCommittedPityVanityPreservesPardonGraciousSubtletyInfidelTumultCold BloodedGreat Reward Author:Samuel Taylor Coleridge
