-What's Wrong With the World (1910)
Friday, July 3, 2015
...the special joy of man is limited creation, the combination
of creation with limits. Man's pleasure, therefore, is to
possess conditions, but also to be partly possessed by them;
to be half-controlled by the flute he plays or by the field he digs.
The excitement is to get the utmost out of given conditions;
the conditions will stretch, but not indefinitely... because he is not God, but only a graven image of God,
his self-expression must deal with limits; properly with limits
that are strict and even small.
