“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

“I can worship Nature, and that fulfills my need for miracles and beauty. Art gives a spiritual depth to existence -- I can find worlds bigger and deeper than my own in music, paintings, and books.

“Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach, the core of their reality, the person that each one is in God's eyes.

“In worship we have our neighbors to right and left, before and behind, yet the Eternal Presence is over all and beneath all.
