Text Quotes
The slave may be happy, but happiness is not enough  (Herbert Read Quotes) Art is pattern informed by sensibility  (Herbert Read Quotes) To realize that new world we must prefer the values of freedom and equality above all other values - above personal wealth, technical power and nationalism.  (Herbert Read Quotes) I am not going to claim that modern anarchism has any direct relation to Roman jurisprudence; but I do claim that it has its basis in the laws of nature rather than in the state of nature  (Herbert Read Quotes) It is already clear, after twenty years of socialism in Russia, that if you do not provide your society with a new religion, it will gradually revert to the old one  (Herbert Read Quotes) Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience - by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence  (Herbert Read Quotes) To realize that new world we must prefer the values of freedom and equality above all other values - above personal wealth, technical power and nationalism  (Herbert Read Quotes) We may be sure that out of the ruins of our capitalist civilization a new religion will emerge, just as Christianity emerged from the ruins of the Roman civilization  (Herbert Read Quotes) The sense of historical continuity, and a feeling for philosophical rectitude cannot, however, be compromised  (Herbert Read Quotes) Art is not and never has been subordinate to moral values. Moral values are social values; aesthetic values are human values. Morality seeks to restrain the feelings; art seeks to define them by externalizing them, by giving them significant form. Morality has only one aim - the ideal good; art has quite another aim - the objective truth... art never changes  (Herbert Read Quotes) Once we become conscious of a feeling and attempt to make a corresponding form, we are engaged in an activity which, far from being sincere, is prepared (as any artist if he is sincere will tell you) to moderate feelings to fit the form. The artist’s feeling for form is stronger than a formless feeling  (Herbert Read Quotes) Perhaps it is this theory of all work and no play that has made the Marxist such a very dull boy  (Herbert Read Quotes) That is why I believe that art is so much more significant than either economics or philosophy. It is the direct measure of man’s spiritual vision.  (Herbert Read Quotes) The work of art ... is an instrument for tilling the human psyche, that it may continue to yield a harvest of vital beauty.  (Herbert Read Quotes) Works of art must persist as objects of contemplation  (Herbert Read Quotes) If modern art has produced symbols that are unfamiliar, that was only to be expected  (Herbert Read Quotes) The depths modern art has been exploring are mysterious depths, full of strange fish  (Herbert Read Quotes) In general, modern art... has been inspired by a natural desire to chart the uncharted  (Herbert Read Quotes) The modern artist, by nature and destiny, is always an individualist  (Herbert Read Quotes) The sensitive artist knows that a bitter wind is blowing  (Herbert Read Quotes) The modern work of art, as I have said, is a symbol  (Herbert Read Quotes) Nobody seriously believes in the social philosophies of the immediate past  (Herbert Read Quotes) Creeds and castes, and all forms of intellectual and emotional grouping, belong to the past  (Herbert Read Quotes) Progress is measured by the degree of differentiation within a society  (Herbert Read Quotes) The characteristic political attitude of today is not one of positive belief, but of despair  (Herbert Read Quotes) Man is everywhere still in chains  (Herbert Read Quotes) In the evolution of mankind there has always been a certain degree of social coherence  (Herbert Read Quotes) The point I am making is that in the more primitive forms of society the individual is merely a unit; in more developed forms of society he is an independent personality  (Herbert Read Quotes) The work of art... Is an instrument for tilling the human psyche, that it may continue to yield a harvest of vital beauty  (Herbert Read Quotes) I have not the slightest doubt that this form of individuation represents a higher stage in the evolution of mankind  (Herbert Read Quotes)
