* 1
The best political economy is the care and culture of men.
* 2
...creative work in whatever form is the only security of a rich social culture.
* 3
Whoever learns just to read and write has taken only the first step toward culture.
* 4
...even when the mind operates alone, and feeling the sentiment of blame or approbation, pronounces one object deformed and odious, another beautiful and amiable; I say, that, even in this case, those qualities are not really in the objects, but belong entirely to the sentiment of that mind which blames or praises.
* 5
...it is convenient to be able to write letters in languages you yourself can't speak.
* 6
...one cannot lightly dismiss the notion that classical records are for many people tokens of taste and objects of display.
* 7
...book-giving, book-borrowing and bookstealing more or less even out. I possess books that do not strictly speaking belong to me, but many other people also have books of mine: so that the books I have not paid for can be taken as balancing others which I have paid for but no longer possess.
* 8
...he who dislikes learnings, especially in youth, when he has no power of judging what is good and what is not, such an one we maintain not to be a philosopher or a lover of knowledge, just as he who refuses his food is not hungry, and may be said to have a bad appetite and not a good one...
* 9
The capacity to visualize things that do not yet exist has been seen as the fundamental hallmark of culture.
* 10
Through the heaven of culture man seeks to isolate himself from the world, to break its hostile power.
* 11
When we want culture more than potatoes, and illumination more than sugar-plums, then the great resources of a world are taxed and drawn out, and the result, or staple production, is, not slaves, nor operatives, but men -- those rare fruits called heroes, saints, poets, philosophers, and redeemers.
* 12
...the Integral Way returns you to the subtle essence of life. Adopt its practices and you will become like they are: honest, simple, true, virtuous, whole. You see, in partial pursuits, one's transformation is always partial as well. But in integral self-cultivation, it is possible to achieve a complete metamorphosis, to transcend your emotional and biological limitations and evolve to a higher state of being. By staying out of the shadows and following this simple path, you become extraordinary, unfathomable, a being of profound cosmic subtlety. You outlive time and space by realizing the subtle truth of the universe.
