Herbert Spencer, like every materialistic philosopher and sociological person from XIX, tends by his way and his essence to do relation between spiritual thoughts and works with the hard and useful matter and stuff from normal life. And not only like that, he identifies "economics" with "art quality".// Furthermore this strange idea, whose global support has never been bigger than the number of followers of Aston Villa around the world, it's true that "to consider a work as it's valuable like a masterpiece, you'd before consider than Herbert Spencer perhaps should believe that it's was the most venturous for economical model". Because...over every different shape you can try to use, Herbert Spencer was like that, and you should only accept him like beneath a phænomenologic interpretation; but always despite his natural and a bit eccentric reductionism.

To have a specific style is to be poor in speech - Sofya Averchenkovahas quoted9 years agoAs immediately after looking at the sun we cannot perceive the light of a fire, while by looking at the fire first and the sun afterwards we can perceive both; so, after receiving a brilliant, or weighty, or terrible thought, we cannot appreciate a less brilliant, less weighty, or less terrible one, while, by reversing the order, we can appreciate each.
- Sofya Averchenkovahas quoted9 years agowhen, by the action of a faculty, waste has been incurred, some lapse of time must take place before full efficiency can be reacquired; and this time must be long in proportion as the waste has been great.
