“I think that nationality has no relation to that which gives rise to manga. Even among the Japanese, manga creators are making their creations everyday reflecting their own individuality, with none being the same.

“Egotism erects its center in itself; love places it out of itself in the axis of the universal whole. Love aims at unity, egotism at solitude. Love is the citizen ruler of a flourishing republic, egotism is a despot in a devastated creation. Egotism sows for gratitude, love for the ungrateful. Love gives, egotism lends; and love does this before the throne of judicial truth, indifferent if for the enjoyment of the following moment, or with the view to a martyr's crown--indifferent whether the reward is in this life or in the next.” IfsGivingDoeWholeMomentsNextLove IsViewsCreationSelf LoveCitizensGratitudeSolitudeAnd LoveUniversalAimUnityRewardsFollowingThis LifeEnjoymentRepublicRulersCrownsIndifferentThronesMartyrEgotismJudicialUngratefulFlourishingDevastatedAxesDespotsLove Gratitude Book:Philosophical Letters of Friedrich Schiller Source: Philosophical Letters of Friedrich Schiller

“The act of creation, making anything, is an alteration. We cannot eliminate the medium or ourselves from the process, and both are limited.

“The effect of our knowledge rather ought to be, first, to teach us reverence and fear; and, secondly, to induce us, under its guidance and teaching, to ask every good thing from [God], and, when it is received, ascribe it to him. For how can the idea of God enter your mind without instantly giving rise to the thought, that since you are his workmanship, you are bound, by the very law of creation, to submit to his authority?-\-\that your life is due to him?-\-\that whatever you do ought to have reference to him.” GivingMindFirstsIdeasLawLife IsAsksTeachTeachingEffectsCreationOughtAuthorityGood ThingsBoundsVery GoodDuesGuidanceReverenceSubmitWorkmanship Book:The Institutes Of The Christian Religion, Books First and Second Source: The Institutes Of The Christian Religion, Books First and Second
