feeling wonder in the sublime, and the fragile (22 April 2016)


 

Look closely. The beautiful may be small.
― Immanuel Kant






The human mind always makes progress, but it is a progress in spirals.
- Anne Louise Germaine de Staël



 




Whereas the beautiful is limited, the sublime is limitless, so that the mind in the presence of the sublime, attempting to imagine what it cannot, has pain in the failure but pleasure in contemplating the immensity of the attempt.
― Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason



 

The greatest happiness is to transform one's feelings into action.
- Anne Louise Germaine de Staël
