Famous quotes containing the words healing and/or factor:
“War has always been the great wisdom of all those spirits who have grown too inward, too deep; its healing power lies even in the wound.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded.... He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
