“The economic and social theories used by those who take part in the social struggle ought to be judged not by their objective value but primarily for their effectiveness in arousing emotions.

Our rigid separation of the humanities and the sciences has temporarily left our art stranded or stammering and incoherent.

“Compassion is an emotion of which we ought never to be ashamed. Graceful, particularly in youth, is the tear of sympathy, and the heart that melts at the tale of woe. We should not permit ease and indulgence to contract our affections, and wrap us up in a selfish enjoyment; but we should accustom ourselves to think of the distresses of human, life, of the solitary cottage; the dying parent, and the weeping orphan. Nor ought we ever to sport with pain and distress in any of our amusements, or treat even the meanest insect with wanton cruelty.” ThinkingShouldHumansHeartPainSportsParentEmotionCompassionDyingYouthTearsOughtTreatsAffectionSelfishTalesCrueltyEaseHuman LifeEnjoymentAshamedContractsPermitSolitaryDistressWoeInsectsAmusementWrapsWeepingIndulgenceOrphanCottagesWanton Author:Hugh Blair
