It Is The Mark Of Great Art

It Would Follow That 'significant Form' Was Form Behind Which We Catch A Sense Of Ultimate Reality.

There Must Be Some One Quality Without Which A Work Of Art Cannot Exist; Possessing Which, In The Least Degree, No Work Is Altogether Worthless.

The Representative Element In A Work Of Art May Or May Not Be Harmful, But It Is Always Irrelevant. For To Appreciate A Work Of Art, We Must Bring With Us Nothing From Life, No Knowledge Of Its Affairs And Ideas, No Familiarity With Its Emotions.

The Forms Of Art Are Inexhaustible; But All Lead By The Same Road Of Aesthetic Emotion To The Same World Of Aesthetic Ecstasy.

Civilized People Can Talk About Anything. For Them No Subject Is Taboo.... In Civilized Societies There Will Be No Intellectual Bogeys At Sight Of Which Great Grownup Babies Are Expected To Hide Their Eyes.
