Summary

This quote suggests that art should not aim to cater to the taste of the general public or seek popularity. Instead, it proposes that individuals within the public should strive to cultivate an appreciation for artistic expressions themselves. The statement implies that true art should challenge and inspire its audience, promoting the idea that viewers should actively engage with and educate themselves about art to fully understand and appreciate its value. In this view, it is the responsibility of individuals to develop a more discerning and artistic mindset rather than expecting art to conform to their existing preferences.

Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future. You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity, and the sour sound of whining will certainly frighten away any opportunity for success. Never again. There is a better way.

In college, in the early 1950s, I began to learn a little about how science works, the secrets of its great success, how rigorous the standards of evidence must be if we are really to know something is true, how many false starts and dead ends have plagued human thinking, how our biases can colour our interpretation of evidence, and how often belief systems widely held and supported by the political, religious and academic hierarchies turn out to be not just slightly in error, but grotesquely wrong.

For the first time in his life, Mont Blanc for a moment look

For the first time in his life, Mont Blanc for a moment looked to him what it was - a chaos of anarchic and purposeless forces - and he needed days of repose to see it clothe itself again with the illusions of his senses, the white purity of its snows, the splendor of its light, and the infinity of its heavenly peace. Nature was kind; Lake Geneva was beautiful beyond itself, and the Alps put on charms real as terrors.
