Leo Baeck Quotes

Romantic Enthusiasm Lifts The Good Aloft And Removes It Into The Dim Distance Of The Incomparable And Unattainable; At The Same Time It Portrays The Good In A Human Countenance Out Of Which It Looks At Us And We Can Look Back At It, Face To Face, In Admiration And Ecstasy, And Stretch Out Our Arms Towards It. Thus The Moral Good Is Represented In Human, And At The Same Time Superhuman, Form; It Is Of Our Own Kind, And Yet Above Our Kind; It Confronts Us, But Makes No Demands. IT Is Not Really A Standard And Lacks The Power To Issues Commandments. Both Are Given At Once: The Ethical Which One Would Like To Love; And The Passive, The Romantic, In Which One Wants To Live. As A Substitute For Constant Activity Demanded By The Ethical Commandment, We Have Adoration In Which The Romantic Impression Of The Moment In Vented, And Yearning Which Need Only Admire And Enjoy But Not Achieve Anything.
