Individuals Quotes

People are not considerate of others. They tend not to consider themselves as all living together, but see themselves only as individuals Picture Quote #1

The basic project of art is always to make the world whole and comprehensible, to restore it to us in all its glory and its occasional nastiness, not through argument but through feeling, and then to close the gap between you and everything that is not you, and in this way pass from feeling to meaning.

And this gap complicates everything we do Picture Quote #1

It is not learning we need at all. Individuals need learning but the culture needs something else, the pulse of light on the sea, the warm urge of huddling together to keep out the cold. We need empathy, we need the eyes that still can weep Picture Quote #1

The only thing binding individuals together is ideas. Ideas mutate and spread; they change their hosts as much as their hosts change them Picture Quote #1

One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn’t as individuals Picture Quote #1

Although the far territory of the extreme can exert an intoxicating pull on susceptible individuals of all bents, extremism seems to be especially prevalent among those inclined by temperament or upbringing toward religious pursuits. Faith is the very antithesis of reason, injudiciousness a crucial component of spiritual devotion. And when religious fanaticism supplants ratiocination, all bets are suddenly off Picture Quote #1

First, individual rights cannot be sacrificed for the sake of the general good, and second, the principles of justice that specify these rights cannot be premised on any particular vision of the good life.
