Modern Quotes

Comics deal with two fundamental communicating devices: words and images. Admittedly this is an arbitrary separation.

Actually, the are derivatives of a single origin and in the skillful employment of words and images lies the expressive potential of the medium Picture Quote #1

I suspect it was... the old story of the implacable necessity of a man having honour within his own natural spirit. A man cannot live and temper his mettle without such honour. There is deep in him a sense of the heroic quest; and our modern way of life, with its emphasis on security, its distrust of the unknown and its elevation of abstract collective values has repressed the heroic impulse to a degree that may produce the most dangerous consequences Picture Quote #1

Modern economics is sick. Economics has increasingly become an intellectual game played for its own sake and not for its practical consequences for understanding the economic world. Economists have converted the subject into a sort of social mathematics in which analytical rigour is everything and practical relevance is nothing Picture Quote #1

The most extraordinary gift you’ve been given is your own humanity, which is about consciousness. So honor that consciousness Picture Quote #1

The artist is always a servant, and is perpetually trying to pay for the gift that has been given to him as if by miracle. Modern man, however, does not want to make any sacrifice, even though true affirmation of self can only be expressed in sacrifice Picture Quote #1

One reads thousands of books, of poets, modern and ancient, as one meets thousands of people. What remains of it all is hard to tell Picture Quote #1
