More From Herbert Read
- "These groups within a society can he distinguished according as to whether, like an army or an orchestra, they function as a single body; or whether they are united merely to defend their common interests and otherwise function as separate individuals."
- "Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience – by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence."
- "To realize that new world we must prefer the values of freedom and equality above all other values – above personal wealth, technical power and nationalism."
