Walter Pater
"Art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass."

Art

Quote_1.png
Walter Pater
"The various forms of intellectual activity which together make up the culture of an age, move for the most part from different starting-points, and by unconnected roads."

Age

Quote_1.png
Walter Pater
"Such discussions help us very little to enjoy what has been well done in art or poetry, to discriminate between what is more and what is less excellent in them, or to use words like beauty, excellence, art, poetry, with a more precise meaning than they would otherwise have."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Walter Pater
"No account of the Renaissance can be complete without some notice of the attempt made by certain Italian scholars of the fifteenth century to reconcile Christianity with the religion of ancient Greece."

Religion

Quote_1.png
Walter Pater
"What is important, then, is not that the critic should possess a correct abstract definition of beauty for the intellect, but a certain kind of temperament, the power of being deeply moved by the presence of beautiful objects."

Beauty

Quote_1.png
Walter Pater
"Not to discriminate every moment some passionate attitude in those about us, and in the very brilliancy of their gifts some tragic dividing on their ways, is, on this short day of frost and sun, to sleep before evening."

Attitude

Quote_1.png
Walter Pater
"With this sense of the splendour of our experience and of its awful brevity, gathering all we are into one desperate effort to see and touch, we shall hardly have time to make theories about the things we see and touch."

Experience

Quote_1.png
Walter Pater
"A very intimate sense of the expressiveness of outward things, which ponders, listens, penetrates, where the earlier, less developed consciousness passed lightly by, is an important element in the general temper of our modern poetry."

Poetry

Quote_1.png
Walter Pater
"The service of philosophy, of speculative culture, towards the human spirit, is to rouse, to startle it to a life of constant and eager observation."
