“In a man like Friedrich von Schlegel the courage to be as an individual self produced complete neglect of participation, but it also produced, in reaction to the emptiness of this self-affirmation, the desire to return to a collective. Schlegel, and with him many extreme individualists in the last hundred years, became Roman Catholics. The courage to be as oneself broke down, and one turned to an institutional embodiment of the courage to be as a part.” MenYearsSelfLastsDesireIndividualReturnHundredDown AndCatholicOneselfExtremesReactionsBrokeEmptinessCollectivesNeglectAffirmationParticipationEmbodimentRoman CatholicSelf Affirmation Author:Paul Tillich

“If agricultural land be left uncultivated, in a few years the jungle returns, and signs are not lacking that a similar danger is always lying in wait for the fields of thought, which, by the labour of three hundred years, have been cleared and brought into cultivation by men of science.

“It is said that what is called "the spirit of an age" is something to which one cannot return. That this spirit gradually dissipates is due to the world's coming to an end. For this reason, although one would like to change today's world back to the spirit of one hundred years or more ago, it cannot be done. Thus it is important to make the best out of every generation.” WorldYearsSaidImportantEndsReasonDoneAgeTodaySpiritGenerationsReturnHundredDuesToday's WorldComing To An End Book:Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai Source: Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai
“Michael patted him on the shoulder. “I like this plan,” he said. “You and Eve, picking up cake and flowers, and you can’t even say a word.
