Vasily Rozanov Quotes
We Mean To Say That Symbolism And Decadence - The Negative Attitude To Which Is Indisputable To Everyone Except The "participants" - Are Genetically Connected With Everything Brilliant And Sublime Created By The "unbound Personality" During This Period Of Time, From The Renaissance Up To The Development Of Electrical Engineering; Contrariwise, The Border Which They Cannot Cross Is Laid Down Where Man Understood That He Was Always "bound." The Great Continent Of History, The Continent Of Real Deeds, Practical Needs, And More Than All That, Of Received Religion And The Established Church - That Is Whose Shore This Stinking Monster Can Never Crawl Into, That Is Where We Are Fleeing To From It, That Is Where Man Can Always Save Himself. Where The Monastery Wall Rises This Surge Of The Faithless Waves Of History - No Matter How Strong It May Become And How Far It May Spread Around - Will Stop And Fall Back.
("On Symbolists & Decadence")
