LINES FROM THE TEXT:

An age must always decry itself and extol its forbears

Art is greater than Life

Art that does not distract them without causing them to think

Beauty! An awkward word--a perpetual begging of the question

Certainty

Death may be the end of man, or Death may be nothing

Everything is worth the doing well

Freedom from the dull tedium of responsibility

Introspection causes discomfort

It is not my profession to know things for certain

Itch to get outside ourselves

Know things for certain

Lost all the good of the old, and given us nothing in its place

Replaces within me interest in myself by interest in itself

Rhythmic relation of part to part, and part to whole,

Spurious glamour is inclined to gather around what is new

Superlative, instead of a comparative, clarity of vision

Those whose sacred suns and moons are ever in the past

Time is essential to the proper placing and estimate of all Art

Tomorrow only can tell us which is which

Truth admits but the one rule: No deficiency, and no excess

Turgenev a realist? No greater poet ever wrote in prose

Unconsciousness of self

Vitality--the one quality inseparable from a work of Art

When a thing is new how shall it be judged?
