“In earlier days, even as a child, the beauty of landscapes was quite clear to me. A background for the soul's moods. Now dangerous moments occur when Nature tries to devour me; at such times I am annihilated, but at peace. This would be fine for old people but I... I am my life's debtor, for I have given promises.” PeopleTryingChildrenSoulMomentsWould BeGivenNatureClearDangerousFinePromiseMoodBackgroundsLandscapeOld PeopleDebtors Book:The Diaries of Paul Klee, 1898-1918 Source: The Diaries of Paul Klee, 1898-1918

“The most dangerous moment of the War, and the one which caused me the greatest alarm, was when the Japanese Fleet was heading for Ceylon and the naval base there.

“People are mostly sane enough, of course, in the affairs of common life: the getting of food, shelter, and so on. But the moment they attempt any depth or generality of thought, they go mad almost infallibly. The vast majority, of course, adopt the local religious madness, as naturally as they adopt the local dress. But the more powerful minds will, equally infallibly, fall into the worship of some intelligent and dangerous lunatic, such as Plato, or Augustine, or Comte, or Hegel, or Marx.” PeopleMindEnoughMomentsFallCoursesReligiousPowerfulCommonDangerousWorshipMadnessIntelligentDressesMadMajorityDepthAffairLocalsSaneShelterPlatoLunaticGeneralitiesHegelAugustineCommon LifePowerful Mind Author:David Stove
“It was always exciting, but it was also always dangerous. And fear takes a toll finally: when you live in danger from moment to moment, the constant tension becomes very wearying.

“For a decade Americans have been steeped in the rhetoric of "zero tolerance" and the faith that virtually all problems from drug addiction to lousy teaching can be solved by pouring on the punishment. Even without a Commander in Chief who pledges to rid the world of evildoers, smoke them out of their holes and the like, we would be vulnerable to the temptation to brush aside frustrating complexities and relieve intolerable fear (at least for the moment) by settling on one or more scapegoats to crush.
