Quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Every man lives in two realms: the internal and the external. The internal is that realm of spiritual ends expressed in art, literature, morals, and religion. The external is that complex of devices, techniques, mechanisms, and instrumentalities by means of which we live.

Every man lives in two realms: the internal and the external

Summary

This quote highlights the duality of human existence, emphasizing that every individual inhabits two realms - the internal and the external. The internal realm refers to one's spiritual, emotional, and moral aspects, finding expression through art, literature, morals, and religion. On the other hand, the external realm denotes the material and practical aspects of life, encompassing various tools, techniques, and mechanisms that facilitate our daily living. In essence, the quote underscores the need for individuals to balance both realms in order to lead a fulfilled and meaningful life.

Anyone could be in the orchestra, or sports team, or arts club at my school. It was precisely the kind of inclusivity that now meets with a sort of scorn and derision as a prizes-for-all culture that generates only mediocrity.
