“The classicist, and the naturalist who has much in common with him, refuse to see in the highest works of art anything but the exercise of judgement, sensibility, and skill. The romanticist cannot be satisfied with such a normal standard; for him art is essentially irrational - an experience beyond normality, sometimes destructive of normality, and at the very least evocative of that state of wonder which is the state of mind induced by the immediately inexplicable.” MindArtSometimesStatesCommonWonderExerciseSkillsNormalHighestStandardsArt IsRefuseSatisfiedJudgementDestructiveWorks Of ArtState Of MindSensibilityIrrationalInexplicableNormalityNaturalistClassicistsState Of Wonder Author:Herbert Read

“I think in theater it demands that you say the same words every night and make it feel fresh and new. Improv demands that you be operating at the highest level of your creativity intelligence. So these two skills are both very important but I've seen people who are very skilled at one area struggle with the other. Either improvisers feel constrained by having to say the same thing over and over again or people who are really good at doing scripted work feel intimidated and exposed doing improvisation.” PeopleThinkingFeelsTwoImportantNightLevelsCreativityStruggleSkillsDemandHighestAreasTheaterExposedEvery NightImprovisationIntimidated Author:Gillian Jacobs

“Modern man has transformed himself into a commodity; he experiences his life energy as an investment with which he should make the highest profit, considering his position and the situation on the personality market. He is alienated from himself, from his fellow men and from nature. His main aim is profitable exchange of his skills, knowledge, and of himself, his "personality package" with others who are equally intent on a fair and profitable exchange.
