W. Blake: The Worship of God is. Honouring his gifts in other men each according to his Genius.

And loving the greatest men best. F. Nietzsche: The task is to bring to light what we must ever love and honor and what no subsequent enlightenment can take away: great individual human beings.the goal of humanity cannot lie in its end but only in its highest exemplars. WB: Men are admitted into Heaven not because they have <curbed &> governed their Passions or have No Passions but because they have Cultivated their Understandings. FN: It makes the most telling difference whether a thinker has a personal relationship to his problems and finds in them his destiny, his distress, and his greatest happiness, or an impersonal one, meaning that he can do no better than to touch them and grasp them with the antennae of cold, curious thought. Like Dostoevskian epilepsy or Dionysiac rapture, or like the inspiration of an Old Testament prophet, the madness is inducing a clarity denied to the majority, addicted as it is to sane fictions. WB: Man was made for Joy and Woe And when this we rightly know Thro this World we safely go.
