Amor Quote by Benedetto Croce
““Sufletul e suflet in masura in care e trup, vointa e vointa in masura in care isi misca bratele si mainile, adica e actiune, iar intuitia exista, in masura in care in aelasi act e expresie. O imagine neexprimata, care nu e cuvant, cantec, desen, pictura, sculptura, arhitectura, cuvant cel putin soptit in sinea cuiva, cantec care sa rasune macar in pieptul cuiva, desen si culoare care sa fie vazute macar in fantezie si sa coloreze prin sine intregul suflet si trup- e un lucru inexistent. Existenta lui poate fi enuntata intr-o asertiune, dar nu poate fi afirmata, caci afirmatia poate fi dovedita doar atunci cand imaginea e incorporata si exprimata. Profunda propozitie filozofica a identitatii si expresiei se poate regasi de altfel in bunul simt comun, care rade de cei care zic ca au idei dar nu stiu cum sa le exprime, care au imaginat o mare pictura dar nu pot s-o picteze.””
