#proverbs #french-proverbs #music #solitude

Was awakened in the night to a strain of music dying away, passing travellers singing.

When I remembered what a narrow and finite life I should anon awake to! ~Henry David Thoreau

Humanitarian convictions are the linchpins of our salvation, and these an artist must champion. ~Eric Maisel
#quotes #eric-maisel #humanity #art

All men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight. Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle
