A batch of the best highlights from what Claudia's read, .
We are at an important age of self-analysis. The art of our time cannot possibly rise an iota above the quality of our insight. It takes strength of a high order to get beyond the ordinary intelligent attitudes of experience. It is tempting accept life as a series of opportunities and anxieties, appetites and frustrations, and, having so accepted it, to canon making and seizing opportunities, whetting and appetites, avoiding disappointment This is the pattern of procedure.

I heard once about a Yiddish poet who lived in utter poverty and misery, a teenager, who never had seen anything beautiful in his life, and he made splendid poems about vegetables jumping into the soup pot. My idea being that for the sublime and the beautiful and the interesting, you don’t have to look far away. You have to know how to see.
