Johann Georg Hamann
Image

Antonin Artaud
Image
The artist must imitate that which is within the thing, that which is active through form and figure, and discourses to us by symbols.

If I write a fantastic story, I'm not writing something willful. On the contrary, I am writing something that stands for my feelings, or for my thoughts. So that, in a sense, a fantastic story is as real and perhaps more real than a mere circumstantial story. Because after all, circumstances come and go, and symbols remain.
Jorge Luis Borges

Rabindranath Tagore
Image

Image
The President is the symbol of who the people of the United States are. He is the person who stands for us in the eyes of the world and the eyes of our children.
William Bennett
Image
In the 20th century, the position of the monarch as head of the Church of England was given a meaning which it never had before.

David Starkey
