"It has, alas, for centuries been taught that the intellect and the emotions were two separate and antagonistic things... How depressing it is to realise that it might have been taught that they are two beautifully congenial and harmonious phases of that single and integral essence that we call the soul" #QotD


"It has, alas, for centuries been taught that the intellect and the emotions were two separate and antagonistic things. This teaching has been firmly believed, cruelly lived up to.
    "How depressing it is to realise that it might have been taught that they are two beautifully congenial and harmonious phases of that single and integral essence that we call the soul. That no nature in which the development of either is wanting can be called a completely rounded nature." 
          ~ Louis Sullivan, from his 1894 article 'Emotional Architecture as Compared to Intellectual : A Study in Subjective and Objective',.
