Thomas Mann Quotes
Elegant Self-control Concealing From The World's Eyes Until The Very Last Moment A State Of Inner Disintegration And Biological Decay; Sallow Ugliness, Sensuously Marred And Worsted, Which Nevertheless Is Able To Fan Its Smouldering Concupiscence To A Pure Flame, And Even To Exalt Itself To Mastery In The Realm Of Beauty; Pallid Impotence, Which From The Glowing Depths Of The Spirit Draws Strength To Cast Down A Whole Proud People At The Foot Of The Cross And Set Its Own Foot Upon Them As Well; Gracious Poise And Composure In The Empty Austere Service Of Form; The False, Dangerous Life Of The Born Deceiver, His Ambition And His Art Which Lead So Soon To Exhaustion - To Contemplate All These Destinies, And Many Others Like Them, Was To Doubt If There Is Any Other Heroism At All But The Heroism Of Weakness. In Any Case, What Other Heroism Could Be More In Keeping With The Times?
