Dream Art Faithful

More From Michel De Montaigne

The folly of interpreters has been, to foretell times and things by this prophecy, as if god designed to make them prophets. by this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought the prophecy also into contempt. the design of god was much otherwise. he gave this and the prophecies of the old testament, not to gratify mens curiosities by enabling them to foreknow things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event, and his own providence, not the interpreters, be then manifested thereby to the world.
Men Design Curiosity
We have more poets than judges and interpreters of poetry. it is easier to write an indifferent poem than to understand a good one. there is, indeed, a certain low and moderate sort of poetry, that a man may well enough judge by certain rules of art; but the true, supreme, and divine poesy is equally above all rules and reason. and whoever discerns the beauty of it with the most assured and most steady sight sees no more than the quick reflection of a flash of lightning.
Art Writing Reflection
It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

Israel is a fulfillment, and as a fulfillment, it is flawed. dreams fulfilled are imperfect. and, israel is imperfect, of course it is - a far cry from the monumental dreams of the founding fathers. one of the reasons is that their dreams were unrealistic. they were bigger than life. these were messianic dreams, dreams about total redemption for the jews, for the world. such dreams do not come true, not in their entirety.

We love them [people who have same-sex attractions] as sons and daughters of god. they may have certain inclinations which are powerful and which may be difficult to control. if they do not act upon these inclinations, then they can go forward as do all other members of the church.
Daughter Sex Powerful
It's good to be young and full of dreams. dreams of one day doing something 'insanely great.' dreams of love, beauty, achievement, and contribution. but understand they have a life of their own, and they're not very good at following instructions. love them, revere them, nurture them, respect them, but don't ever become a slave to them. otherwise you'll kill them off prematurely, before they get the chance to come true.
Dream Love Is Following Instructions
Similar Quotes
I cannot say, and i will not say that he is dead. he is just away. with a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, he has wandered into an unknown land and left us dreaming how very fair it needs must be, since he lingers there. and you - oh you, who the wildest yearn for an old-time step, and the glad return, think of him faring on, as dear in the love of there as the love of here. think of him still as the same. i say, he is not dead - he is just away.

A dream deferred is a dream denied.
Dream Denied
The world now has a new kind of hero, one who listens more than speaks, who preaches in riddles not in certainties, a leader who doesn't show his face, who says his mask is really a mirror. and in the zapatistas, we have not one dream of a revolution, but a dreaming revolution.
Dream Hero Mirrors
It is a sad day when one looks back and sees that his largest regrets have become some of the most integral elements of his dreams.
