Lafcadio Hearn quotes
" A great many things which in times of lesser knowledge we imagined to be superstitious or useless, prove to-day on examination to have been of immense value to mankind. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" A proof of really great art is that it is generally true - it seldom falls into the misapprehensions to which minor art is liable. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" Accordingly the Northern races of Europe found their inspiration in the Bible; and the enthusiasm for it has not yet quite faded away. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" Among the many charming festivals celebrated by Old Japan, the most romantic was the festival of Tanabata-Sama, the Weaving-Lady of the Milky Way. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" Any idealism is a proper subject for art. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" As a result, the highly civilized man can endure incomparably more than the savage, whether of moral or physical strain. Being better able to control himself under all circumstances, he has a great advantage over the savage. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" At last, in 1611, was made, under the auspices of King James, the famous King James version; and this is the great literary monument of the English language. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" Broad tolerance in the matter of beliefs is necessarily a part of the new ethics. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" But every great scripture, whether Hebrew, Indian, Persian, or Chinese, apart from its religious value will be found to have some rare and special beauty of its own; and in this respect the original Bible stands very high as a monument of sublime poetry and of artistic prose. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" But the history of the changes produced by a universal idea is not a history of changes in the individual, but of changes brought about by the successive efforts of millions of individuals in the course of many generations. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" But what is after all the happiness of mere power? There is a greater happiness possible than to be lord of heaven and earth; that is the happiness of being truly loved. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" Contemporary literature in the West has shown some signs of ethical change. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" Effects can be produced in Japanese which the Greeks could produce with few syllables, but which the English can not. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" For this reason, to study English literature without some general knowledge of the relation of the Bible to that literature would be to leave one's literary education very incomplete. "

Lafcadio Hearn
" French novels generally treat of the relations of women to the world and to lovers, after marriage; consequently there is a great deal in French novels about adultery, about improper relations between the sexes, about many things which the English public would not allow. "
