Andre Gide Quotes
Do You Know Why Our Poetry Today And Especially Our Philosophy Are Such Dead Issues? Because They've Cut Themselves Off From Life. Now, Greece Idealized On Life's Own Level: An Artist's Life Was Already A Poetic Achievement; A Philosopher's Life Was An Enactment Of His Philosophy; And When They Were A Part Of Life That Way, Instead Of Ignoring Each Other, Philosophy Could Nourish Poetry, Poetry Express Philosophy, And Together Achieve An Admirable Persuasiveness. Today Beauty No Longer Acts; And Action No Longer Bothers About Being Beautiful; And Wisdom Operates On The Sidelines.
