thinking civilization ideas
It is an altogether wrong idea that the modern product of civilization is less susceptible to love. I sometimes think it is the other way.
fall thinking order
I know from experience that to one who thinks much and feels deeply, it often seems that he has only to put down his thoughts and feelings in order to produce something altogether out of the common; yet as soon as he sets to work he falls into a certain mannerism of style and common phraseology; his thoughts do not come spontaneously, and one might almost say that it is not the mind that directs the pen, but the pen leads the mind into common, empty artificiality.
men two bird
