More From George Eliot

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Dark Simple Reality
Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

Dancing and building are the two primary and essential arts. the art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that expressthemselves first in the human person. the art of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person; and in the end they unite. music, acting, poetry proceed in the one mighty stream; sculpture, painting, all the arts of design, in the other. there is no primary art outside these two arts, for their origin is far earlier than man himself; and dancing came first.

The arts are not a frill. the arts are a response to our individuality and our nature, and help to shape our identity. what is there that can transcend deep difference and stubborn divisions? the arts. they have a wonderful universality. art has the potential to unify. it can speak in many languages without a translator. the arts do not discriminate. the arts lift us up.

A problem with school is that you often become what you study. if you study, let say cooking, you become a chef. if you study law, you become an attorney, and a study of auto mechanics makes you mechanics. the mistake in becoming what you study is that, too many people forget to mind their own business. they spend their lives minding someone else's business and making that person rich
Mistake School Law
There is no one way to salvation, whatever the manner in which a man may proceed. all forms and variations are governed by the eternal intelligence of the universe that enables a man to approach perfection. it may be in the arts of music and painting or it may be in commerce, law, or medicine. it may be in the study of war or the study of peace. each is as important as any other. spiritual enlightenment through religious meditation such as zen or in any other way is as viable and functional as any "way."... a person should study as they see fit.

Similar Quotes
Cultures are never merely intellectual constructs. they take form through the collective intelligence and memory, through a commonly held psychology and emotions, through spiritual and artistic communion.

When we are face to face with truth, the point of view of krishna, buddha, christ, or any other prophet, is the same. when we look at life from the top of the mountain, there is no limitation; there is the same immensity.

The foundations of a person are not in matter but in spirit.

Often we are caught in a mental trap of seeing enormously successful people and thinking they are where they are because they have some special gift. yet a closer look shows that the greatest gift that extraordinarily successful people have over the average person is their ability to get themselves to take action.
