Looked at in isolation, a thought may seem very trivial or very fantastic; but it may be made important by another thought that comes after it, and in conjunction with other thoughts that may seem equally absurd, it may serve to form a most effective link. Reason cannot form any opinion on all this unless it retains the thought long enough to look at it in connection with the others. On the other hand, where there is a creative mind, Reason -so it seems to me- relaxes its watch upon the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell, and only then does it look them through and examine them in a mass.","author":"Friedrich Schiller","tags":["creativity","inspiration","psychology","reason"],"id":25294,"author_id":"Friedrich+Schiller"},{"text":"Only through Beauty's morning-gate, dost thou penetrate the land of knowledge.","author":"Friedrich Schiller","tags":["beauty","knowledge"],"id":35114,"author_id":"Friedrich+Schiller"},{"text":"The strong man is strongest when alone.","author":"Friedrich Schiller","tags":["strong","man","strong man "],"id":46232,"author_id":"Friedrich+Schiller"},{"text":"Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.","author":"Friedrich Schiller","tags":["persuasive","rhetoric","most "],"id":64737,"author_id":"Friedrich+Schiller"},{"text":"Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.","author":"Friedrich Schiller","tags":["air","disappointment","soul","thunderstorms"],"id":108421,"author_id":"Friedrich+Schiller"},{"text":"If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few.
