Nez, ko zazis tāds kluss palicis?
-------------------
It is this great gap of modern ethics, the absence of vivid pictures of purity and spiritual triumph. The ordinary honest man, whatever vague account he may have given of his feelings, was not either disgusted or even annoyed at the candour of the moderns. What disgusted him was not the presence of a clear realism, but the absence of a clear idealism[...] this leave us face to face with the human consciousness filled vith very definite images of evil, and with no definite image of good.
/ Chesterton, Heretics |
