“Patrick White is a strongly individual, richly gifted, original and highly significant writer whose powers are remarkable and whose achievement is large. His art is dense, poetic, and image-ridden. It is always a substantial and genuine thing. At its finest it is one which goes beyond an art of mere appearances to one of mysterious actuality.” ArtIndividualWhiteAchievementArt IsOriginalsMereAppearanceSignificantGenuineMysteriousRemarkablePoeticGiftedFinestDenseActuality Author:William Walsh
“It is ignorance that is at times incomprehensible to the wise; for instance, he may not see 'the positive person' or 'the negative person' in a black and white way as many people do. A wise man may not understand it because, as a catalyst of wisdom, but not wise in his own eyes, even he can learn from and give back to fools. To think that an individual has absolutely nothing to offer to the table is counter-intuitively what the wise man considers to be 'the ignorance of hopelessness'.” PeopleThinkingMenWayGivingMayPersonsEyeIndividualBlackWhiteWiseIgnoranceFoolOffersNegativeTablesInstanceBlack And WhiteHopelessnessGiving BackAbsolutely NothingCatalystPositive Person Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“Hypocrisy versus authenticity among men is not always so black and white, and as is righteousness, humility is often self-proclaimed. The Church is most definitely supposed to be a hospital for the spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically sick, hurting, and broken individual, yet ironically, many of its critics are those who ran away and permanently denounced its members after they visited and felt that they were sneezed on.” MenSelfIndividualFeltBlackHurtChurchWhiteHumilityBrokenMembersSickCriticsAuthenticitySupposed To BeRanHypocrisyRighteousnessHospitalsBlack And WhiteVersus Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“If there is one word that makes creative people different from others, it is the word complexity. Instead of being an individual, they are a multitude. Like the color white that includes all colors, they tend to bring together the entire range of human possibilities within themselves. Creativity allows for paradox, light, shadow, inconsistency, even chaos -and creative people experience both extremes with equal intensity.” PeopleIfsHumansDifferentLightTogetherIndividualWhiteCreativityCreativePossibilityColorEqualShadowChaosExtremesRangeComplexityParadoxIntensityMultitudesOne WordCreative PeopleInconsistencyColor White Author:Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
“If you’re too stupid to understand that a philosophy that favors a federally structured republic, with numerous restraints on the scope and power of government to interfere with individual rights or the free market, is a lot different from an ethnic-nationalist, atheistic, and socialist program of genocide and international aggression, you should use this rule of thumb: If someone isn’t advocating the murder of millions of people in gas chambers and a global Reich for the White Man you shouldn’t assume he’s a Nazi and you should know it’s pretty damn evil to call him one.” PeopleIfsKnowsMenShouldDifferentPhilosophyUseGovernmentEvilIndividualWhiteMillionsRightsStupidProgramMurderAssumingInternationalFavorsDamnGasRepublicGenocideAggressionSocialistInterfereNaziRestraintWhite ManFree MarketScopeChamberThumbsAtheisticAdvocatingIndividual RightsGas Chambers Author:Jonah Goldberg

“It's always intrigued me that amidst the group called slaves there were individuals who were extremely able, who were extremely colorful, who were powerful personalities, who by no means fit the usual images of slaves. They were people who, through their personalities and abilities, were very respected in the community where they lived by both black and white.” PeopleMeanAbleIndividualBlackCommunityAbilityWhitePowerfulGroupsPersonalityFitSlaveUsualBlack And WhiteColorfulIntrigued Author:Alex Haley
