Progress is measured by the degree of differentiation within a society.

Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience - by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence.

It does not seem that the contradiction which exists between the aristocratic function of art and the democratic structure of modern society can ever be resolved.

I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration.

What I do deny is that you can build any enduring society without some such mystical ethos.

It is already clear, after twenty years of socialism in Russia, that if you do not provide your society with a new religion, it will gradually revert to the old one.
