I have come to believe ... that the stage may do more than teach, that much of our current moral instruction will not endure the t...est of being cast into a lifelike mold, and when presented in dramatic form will reveal itself as platitudinous and effete. That which may have sounded like righteous teaching when it was remote and wordy will be challenged afresh when it is obliged to simulate life itself.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Man himself is an enigma in motion; his questions never stay asked; whereas the mold, the footprint, and by natural extension, the... statue itself, like the vaults, the arches, the temples with which man records his own passing, remain immobile and fix a moment of man's life, upon which one might endlessly meditate.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The latter, cast in an inferior mold, lacked also the personal courage of his younger colleague and successor.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through l...uxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.

Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The e...ntertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no scepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The days are made on a loom whereof the warp and woof are past and future time. They are majestically dressed, as if every god bro...ught a thread to the skyey web.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
