Richard M. Weaver Quotes

It Is Characteristic Of The Barbarian ... To Insist Upon Seeing A Thing "as It Is." The Desire Testifies That He Has Nothing In Himself With Which To Spiritualize It; The Relation Is One Of Thing To Thing Without The Intercession Of The Imagination. Impatient Of The Veiling With Which The Man Of Higher Type Gives The World Imaginative Meaning, The Barbarian And The Philistine, Who Is The Barbarian Living Amid Culture, Demands The Access Of Immediacy. Where The Former Wishes Representation, The Latter Insists Upon Starkness Of Materiality, Suspecting Rightly That Forms Will Mean Restraint.
