Do not mistake a crowd of big wage-earners for the leisure class.

I will try to account for the degree of my aesthetic emotion. That, I conceive, is the function of the critic.

It would follow that 'significant form' was form behind which we catch a sense of ultimate reality.

Only reason can convince us of those three fundamental truths without a recognition of which there can be no effective liberty: that what we believe is not necessarily true; that what we like is not necessarily good; and that all questions are open.

All sensitive people agree that there is a peculiar emotion provoked by works of art.

We all agree now - by "we" I mean intelligent people under sixty - that a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves.

Art and Religion are, then, two roads by which men escape from circumstance to ecstasy. Between aesthetic and religious rapture there is a family alliance. Art and Religion are means to similar states of mind.

There must be some one quality without which a work of art cannot exist; possessing which, in the least degree, no work is altogether worthless.

The forms of art are inexhaustible; but all lead by the same road of aesthetic emotion to the same world of aesthetic ecstasy.

Genius worship is the inevitable sign of an uncreative age.

Comfort came in with the middle classes.

For, to appreciate a work of art we need bring with us nothing from life, no knowledge of its ideas and affairs, no familiarity with its emotions. Art transports us from the world of man's activity to a world of aesthetic exaltation. For a moment we are shut off from human interests; our anticipations and memories are arrested; we are lifted above the stream of life.

It is the mark of great art that its appeal is universal and eternal.

A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.
