“I deny that art can be taught, or, in other words, maintain that art is completely individual, and that the talent of each artist is but the result of his own inspiration and his own study of past tradition.” ArtInspirationPastArtistIndividualResultsEducationStudyTalentTaughtArt IsTraditionDeny Author:Gustave Courbet
“We live in this irreparably broken world, and I don't wish to deny reality, but the amazing thing to me is not that we refuse to relinquish hope as a species. The amazing thing is that we're right to hold on to hope. The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy. ... Obviously not all stories end happily. We don't always have good fortune, but hope gives us, as a species and as individuals, what we otherwise wouldn't have: A chance.” WorldGivingMayEndsStoriesRealityIndividualWishChanceCrazyBrokenFortuneSpeciesRefuseDenyGood FortuneAmazing ThingsBroken World Author:John Green

“The terror in which English capitalists now stand of organized proletarian resistance gives to the naturally protected craft organizations the power to receive the wages they demand. They act as they have been trained to act by capitalist society, which denies the doctrine of the Just Price, which proclaims work to be an evil and the goal of human endeavor to be the avoidance of it; which puts it up as an ideal that individuals should get as much money as they possibly can out of their fellows by any means in their power.” GivingShouldHumansMeanHas BeensWisdomEvilPoliticsIndividualGoalEconomyDemandIdealsOrganizationFellowsTerrorDenyResistanceDoctrineCraftsOrganizedLiberalismEndeavorCapitalistProtectedWagesAvoidance Author:Hilaire Belloc

“It is not the right of property which is protected, but the right to property. Property, per se, has no rights; but the individual - the man - has three great rights, equally sacred from arbitrary interference: the right to his life, the right to his liberty, the right to his property The three rights are so bound together as to be essentially one right. To give a man his life but to deny him his liberty, is to take from him all that makes his life worth living. To give him his liberty but take from him the property which is the fruit and badge of his liberty is to still leave him a slave.” MenGivingStillsTogetherThreeIndividualLibertyRightsHe ManSacredPropertySlaveFruitBoundsDenyProtectedArbitraryWorth LivingInterferenceBadgesLife Worth Living Author:George Sutherland
