Education has really only one basic factor: one must want it (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
If you can’t have faith in what is held up to you for faith, you must find things to believe in yourself, for a life without faith in something is too narrow a space to live. (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. Murphy’s First Corollary If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
To feel that one has a place in life solves half the problems of contentment (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Shakespeare has been praised in English more than anything mortal except poetry itself. Fame exhausts thought in his eulogy (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Art has a double visage: it looks before and after. Romance is its forward-looking face. The germ of growth is in romanticism. Formalism, on the other hand, consolidates tradition; gleans what has been gained and makes it facile to the hand or the mind; economizes the energy of genius (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Our understanding of Shakespeare already depends largely on the vitality of Renaissance elements in our education. Each man must live in his own generation, as the saying is; but the generations are bound together by the golden links of the great tradition of civilization (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Shakespeare is, essentially, the emanation of the Renaissance. The overflow of his fame on the Continent in later years was but the sequel of the flood of the Renaissance in Western Europe. He was the child of that great movement, and marks its height as it penetrated the North with civilization (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
The Greeks, those originators of the intellectual life, fixed for us the idea of the poet. He was a divine man; more sacred than the priest, who was at best an intermediary between men and the gods, but in the poet the God was present and spoke (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
The growth of art seems to be in cycles, and often its vigorous lifetime is restricted to a century or two. The periods of distinctive drama, Greek, English, Spanish, fall within such a limit; the schools of painting and sculpture likewise; and, in poetry, the Victorian age or the school of Pope will serve as examples (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
The language of literature is the language of all the world. It is necessary to divest ourselves at once of the notion of diversified vocal and grammatical speech which constitutes the various tongues of the Earth, and conceals the identity of image and logic in the minds of all men (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Words are intermediary between thought and things. We express ourselves really not through words, which are only signs, but through what they signify - through things (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
One can re-create what was in the mind of a mathematician a thousand years ago, recapture the truth of the intellect wherever it may have once come to light; but the image of art, that infinite variable of perception and expression in the individual, - that is not easily re-created, at least, not with certainty and in its original fulness. (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Old times’ never come back and I suppose it’s just as well. What comes back is a new morning every day in the year, and that’s better. (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. Murphy’s First Corollary If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire. (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Much of a poet’s experience takes place in imagination only; the life he tells is oftenest the life that he strongly desires to live, and the power, the purity and height of his utterance may not seldom be the greater because experience here uses the voices of desire. (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Always, some great culture is dying to enrich the soil of new harvests, some civlization is crumbling to rubbish to be the hill of a more beautiful city, some race is spending itself that a lower and more barbarous world may inherit its stored treasure house. (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
The great effort of civilization has been, and still is, the attempt to introduce a principle of control into that casual swarm of impressions which makes up men’s thought and of which, especially with swayed by emotion, spontaneous action is the law. (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
The critic is genius at one remove; he is not unlike an actor on the stage, and incarnates in his mind, as the actor embodies in his person, another’s work; only thus does he understand art, realize it, know it; and having arrived at this, his task is done. (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
The sense that someone else cares always helps because it is the sense of love (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
"Old times" never come back and I suppose it's just as well. What comes back is a new morning every day in the year, and that's better (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
The willingness to take risks is our grasp of faith (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
The sweetest roamer is a boy’s young heart (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
The school of life embodies a compulsory education that no man escapes (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Aesthetic freedom is like free speech; it is, indeed, a form of free speech (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Much of a poet’s experience takes place in imagination only; the life he tells is oftenest the life that he strongly desires to live, and the power, the purity and height of his utterance may not seldom be the greater because experience here uses the voices of desire (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life? (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
If you can’t have faith in what is held up to you for faith, you must find things to believe in yourself, for a life without faith in something is too narrow a space to live (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
I seldom deal in symbolisms; if there be hidden meanings in my verse, they are there without my knowledge (George Edward Woodberry Quotes)
