Effective as perspective is. . . it becomes a deadening influence on an artist's natural way of seeing things once it is accepted as a system - as a mechanical formula.
The influence of a beautiful, helpful character is contagious, and may revolutionize a whole town.

In order to learn true humility (I use this expression to describe the state of mind under discussion), it is good for a person to withdraw from the turmoil of the world (we see that Christ withdrew when the people wanted to proclaim him king as well as when he had to walk the thorny path), for in life either the depressing or the elevating impression is too dominant for a true balance to come about. Here, of course, individuality is very decisive.
Lady, I got buddies who died face down in the muck so that you and I could enjoy this family restaurant!
My first love, you're every breath that I take, you're every step I make
Now you are come! You tremble like a star Poised where, behind earth's rim, the sun has set. Your voice has sung across my heart, but numb And mute, I have no tones to answer.
