• Young people are dazzled by the brilliancy of antithesis, and employ it. Matter-of-fact men, and those who like precision, naturally fall into comparisons and metaphor. Sprightly natures, full of fire, and whom a boundless imagination carries beyond all rules, and even what is reasonable, cannot rest satisfied even with hyperbole. As for the sublime, it is only great geniuses and those of the very highest order that are able to rise to its height.

  Jean de la Bruyere

• Perhaps the history of the errors of mankind, all things considered, is more valuable and interesting than that of their discoveries. Truth is uniform and narrow; it constantly exists, and does not seem to require so much an active energy, as a passive aptitude of the soul in order to encounter it. But error is endlessly diversified; it has no reality, but is the pure and simple creation of the mind that invents it. In this field the soul has room enough to expand herself, to display all her boundless faculties, and all her beautiful and interesting extravagancies and absurdities.

  Benjamin Franklin

  Beautiful, Simple, Reality

• Though essaying but a sportive sail, I was driven from my course by a blast re sistless; and ill-provided, young, and bowed by the brunt of things before my prime, still fly before the gale. ... If after all these fearful fainting trances, the verdict be, the golden haven was not gained; yet in bold quest thereof, better to sink in boundless deeps than float on vulgar shoals; and give me, ye gods, an utter wreck, if wreck I do.

• Meiklejohn's position is that free speech in a democracy is not an absolute flowing from the boundless source of some presumed 'natural right.' It is a practical necessity of 'self-government by universal suffrage,' for if the citizens are not permitted to argue out the issues of government, how can they be what they must be in a democracy - the rulers as well as the ruled?

  Max Lerner

• Eternal God,
  lead me now
  out of the familiar setting
  of my doubts and fears,
  beyond my pride
  and my need to be secure
  into a strange and graceful ease
  with my true proportions
  and with yours;
  that in boundless silence
  I may grow
  strong enough to endure
  and flexible enough to share
  your grace.

• Our thoughts are boundless, though our frames are frail,
  Our souls immortal, though our limbs decay;
  Though darken'd in this poor life by a veil
  Of suffering, dying matter, we shall play
  In truth's eternal sunbeams; on the way
  To heaven's high capitol our cars shall roll;
  The temple of the Power whom all obey,
  That is the mark we tend to, for the soul
  Can take no lower flight, and seek no meaner goal.

  James Gates Percival
