Wyndham Lewis
“The War went on far too long... It was too vast for its meaning, like a giant with the brain of a midge. Its epic proportions were grotesquely out of scale, seeing what it was fought to settle. It was far too indecisive. It settled nothing, as it meant nothing. Indeed, it was impossible to escape the feeling that it was not meant to settle anything - that could have any meaning, or be of any advantage, to the general run of men.”
Wyndham Lewis, Blasting and Bombardiering

Wyndham Lewis
“The art of advertisement, after the American manner, has introduced into all our life such a lavish use of superlatives, that no standard of value whatever is intact.”
Wyndham Lewis, Doom of youth

“Art is the expression of an enormous preference.”
Wyndham Lewis

Thomas Carlyle
“Let each become all that he was created capable of being.”
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
“Strange enough how creatures of the human-kind shut their eyes to plainest facts; and by the mere inertia of Oblivion and Stupidity, live at ease in the midst of Wonders and Terrors. But indeed man is, and was always, a blockhead and dullard; much readier to feel and digest, than to think and consider.”
Thomas Carlyle, Sartor Resartus
