42741	Can we attribute the perfection of the watch to"accidental material operations"any more then the first effort to produce such an instrument?
42741	Can we infer anything further as to the laws of creation from these Silurian multitudes of living things?
42741	Do not all living things rise from a simpler to a more complex state?
42741	Do they cease to be so when the man ceases to be conscious of them?
42741	Do we know anything of law in the case of life?
42741	Does this indicate direct genetic connection, or only like conditions in the external world correlated with likeness in the organic world?

42741	Still future(?)
42741	This digression prepares the way for the question: Was the Miocene period on the whole a better age of the world then that in which we live?
42741	This"--wish that of the living whole No life may fail beyond the grave, Derives it not from what we have The likest God within the soul?"

42741	Why, then, are so many men of science disposed to ignore altogether this view of the matter?
42741	Would it not be absolutely impossible that man should have originated in such a country?
42741	Yet why should these tyrants of creation so utterly disappear without waiting for us to make war on them?

42741	has not the history of the earth displayed a gradually increasing elevation and complexity?
38145	Can we not upset every standard? 38145 113= Christianity as Antiquity.=--When on a Sunday morning we hear the old bells ringing, we ask ourselves: Is it possible? 38145 34= For Tranquility.=--But will not our philosophy become thus a tragedy? 38145 54= Falsehood.=--Why do men, as a rule, speak the truth in the ordinary affairs of life? 38145 70= Execution.=--How comes it that every execution causes us more pain than a murder? 38145 A question seems to weigh upon our tongue and yet will not put itself into words: whether one_ can_ knowingly remain in the domain of the untruthful? 38145 All this for a Jew crucified two thousand years ago who said he was God''s son? 38145 And if we are dupes are we not on that very account dupers also? 38145 Are these moral deeds miracles because they are, in Schopenhauer''s phraseimpossible and yet accomplished"?
38145	As the brain inquires: whence these impressions of light and color?
38145	Besides, what is the burning alive of one individual compared with eternal hell pains for everybody else?
38145	But how can these motives be distinguished from the desire for truth?
38145	But is there any sort of intentional injury in which our existence and the maintenance of our well being be not involved?
38145	But the general universal sciences, considered as a great, basic unity, posit the question-- truly a very living question--: to what purpose?
38145	But where are there psychologists to- day?
38145	But who bothers his head about the theologians any more-- except the theologians themselves?

38145	For whom, moreover, does there exist, at present, any strong tie?
38145	Have enough of the unpleasant effects of this art been experienced to justify the person striving for culture in turning his regard away from it?
38145	He is in amaze and sits hushed: for where had he been?
38145	How can influence be exercised over this fearful unknown, how can this domain of freedom be brought under subjection?
38145	How comes this?
38145	If once he hardly dared to ask"why so apart?
38145	If this feeling had not been rendered agreeable to man-- why should he have improvised such an ideal and clung to it so long?

38145	Is one to believe that such things can still be believed?
38145	Is there such a thing as injuring from absolute badness, for example, in the case of cruelty?
38145	Is there, then, anything immoral in feeling pleasure in the pain of others?
38145	Mankind loves to put by the questions of its origin and beginning: must one not be almost inhuman in order to follow the opposite course?
38145	The question thus becomes: what sort of a notion will human society, under the influence of such a state of mind, form of itself?
38145	To move, to inspire, to inspirit at any cost-- is not this the freedom cry of an exhausted, over- ripe, over cultivated age?

38145	Who would have the right to feel sad if made aware of the goal to which those paths lead?
38145	Will not truth prove the enemy of life, of betterment?
38145	Would many feel disposed to continue such investigations?
38145	_ must_ we not be dupers also?"
38145	and God only an invention and a subtlety of the devil?
38145	and is good perhaps evil?
38145	is it so extraordinary a thing?
38145	or, if one_ must_, whether, then, death would not be preferable?
38145	over what?
38145	over whom?

2300	), passes over sexual selection, and asks,"What explanation does the law of natural selection give of such specific varieties as these?"
2300	); Erithacus(?
2300	; but who can say at what age this occurs in our young children?
2300	A friend of his asked one of these men,"How is it that every one whom I meet is so fine looking, not only your men but your women?"
2300	Are partridges, as they are now coloured, better protected than if they had resembled quails?
2300	Are we not justified in believing that the female exerts a choice, and that she receives the addresses of the male who pleases her most?
2300	Are we to suppose that these black marks and the crimson colour of the eyes have been preserved or augmented through sexual selection in the males?
2300	At what age does the new- born infant possess the power of abstraction, or become self- conscious, and reflect on its own existence?
2300	But can this be so confidently said of sexual selection?
2300	But what are we to conclude with respect to certain birds in which, for instance, the eyes differ slightly in colour in the two sexes?
2300	But what are we to say about the rudimentary and variable vertebrae of the terminal portion of the tail, forming the os coccyx?
2300	Can it be believed that they would thus act to no purpose during their courtship?
2300	Do the races or species of men, whichever term may be applied, encroach on and replace one another, so that some finally become extinct?
2300	Does the male parade his charms with so much pomp and rivalry for no purpose?
2300	Foetus of an Orang(?).
2300	How are such races distributed over the world; and how, when crossed, do they react on each other in the first and succeeding generations?
2300	How is it that there are birds enough ready to replace immediately a lost mate of either sex?
2300	How often do we see birds which fly easily, gliding and sailing through the air obviously for pleasure?
2300	How then are we to account for male mammals possessing mammae?
2300	How, then, are we to account for the beautiful or even gorgeous colours of many animals in the lowest classes?
2300	It may well be asked, could such artistically shaded ornaments have been formed by means of sexual selection?
2300	It would be no advantage and some loss of power if each sex searched for the other; but why should the male almost always be the seeker?
2300	May we then infer that man became divested of hair from having aboriginally inhabited some tropical land?
2300	Must we attribute all these appendages of hair or skin to mere purposeless variability in the male?
2300	Now do not these actions clearly shew that she had in her mind a general idea or concept that some animal is to be discovered and hunted?
2300	Now, what is the difference between such actions, when performed by an uncultivated man, and by one of the higher animals?
2300	Now, what must we conclude with respect to such sexual differences as these?
2300	On the eastern coast, the negro boys when they saw Burton, cried out,"Look at the white man; does he not look like a white ape?"
2300	On the west coast of Africa the little black- weavers( Ploceus?)
2300	Or are we to suppose that the females of these several species especially require spurs for their defence?
2300	Or does she exert a choice, and prefer certain males?
2300	We are naturally led to enquire, where was the birthplace of man at that stage of descent when our progenitors diverged from the Catarrhine stock?
2300	What ancient nation, as the same author asks, can be named that was originally monogamous?
2300	What is this but energy and perseverance?)
2300	What kind of a person would she be without the pelele?
2300	What then are we to conclude from these facts and considerations?
2300	What, then, are we to conclude in regard to the many fishes, both sexes of which are splendidly coloured?
2300	When I say to my terrier, in an eager voice( and I have made the trial many times),"Hi, hi, where is it?"
2300	Who can doubt that the refusal to fight a duel through fear has caused many men an agony of shame?
2300	Why do not such spare birds immediately pair together?
2300	Why should a man feel that he ought to obey one instinctive desire rather than another?
2300	or why does he regret having stolen food from hunger?
2300	who after asking, does man originate in a different way from a dog, bird, frog or fish?
743	And wherefore not?
743	Is the sun the principal cause of the temperature of the earth? 743 What went ye out into the wilderness to see"said Jesus Christ:"a reed shaken with the wind?"
743	Who enquires of an enemy, whether it is by fraud or heroic enterprise that he has gained the day?
743	--Yet-- so capricious is fame-- a century has nearly elapsed, since Pope said, Who now reads Cowley?
743	A primary enquiry under this head is as to the duration of life: Is it long, or short?
743	Am not I therefore( the person engaged in reading the present Essay) the only being in existence, an entire universe to myself?"
743	And is this mysterious and concealed way of proceeding one of the forms through which we are to pass in the school of liberty?
743	And is this the proud attitude of liberty, to which we are so eager to aspire?
743	And shall we teach men to discharge this debt in the dark?
743	And to whom, said the king, wilt thou appeal?
743	And who does not feel that every thing depends upon the creed we embrace, and the discipline we exercise over our own souls?
743	And, if he did, where was the gold to be found, to satisfy his demand?
743	Are the virtues of the best men, the noblest philosophers, and the most disinterested patriots of antiquity, nothing?
743	But does any one, for himself or his posterity, expect to see this realised?
743	But does it record nothing else?
743	But how does the case really stand?
743	But how does the matter really stand?
743	But how shall I most effectually conceal the truth from him?
743	But is it always so?
743	But what I want to ascertain is, why the bare thought of doing so takes a momentary hold of the mind of the person addressed?
743	But what are all these, when compared with those that fill the whole expanse, the boundless field of aether?
743	But what has this to do with the world in which we live?
743	Could I?"
743	Did ever any one put out his penny to interest in this fashion for eighteen hundred years?
743	Does not all this strongly argue the solidity of the science to which they belong?
743	From what disposition in human nature is it that all this accommodation and concurrence proceed?
743	He considers, Will this man submit to my summons without resistance, or in what manner will he repel my trespass?
743	He might be ready to exclaim, with Hazael in the Scriptures,"Is thy servant more than man, that he should do this great thing?"
743	He says, What am I, that I should be the object of this?
743	How are we sure that they do then?
743	How comes it then that our nature labours under so bitter an aspersion?
743	How does this correspond with the goodness of God, which will suffer no mass of matter in his creation to remain unoccupied?
743	How is all this to be done by me?
743	How is this to be reconciled with the want of constancy which his organisation plainly indicates?
743	How many men are there, that have examined the evidences of their religious belief, and can give a sound"reason of the faith that is in them?"
743	How many men now exist on the face of the earth?
743	How then does the question stand with relation to mind?
743	I have here instanced in the case of the peripatetic: but of how many classes and occupations of human life may not the same thing be affirmed?
743	I say, that one of the thoughts that will occur to many of the persons who should be so invited, will be,"Shall I take him at his word?"
743	I should still say, Whatever I may do, whether it be right or wrong, I can not help it; wherefore then should I trouble the master- spirit within me?
743	In what manner then shall these deputies be elected?
743	Is it characteristic of a free state or a tyranny?
743	Is it not enough?
743	Is it not the first ejaculation of the miserable,"Oh, that I could fly from myself?
743	Is its cause something of absolute and substantive existence without me, or is it not?
743	Is not the Iliad a thing new, and that will for ever remain new?
743	Is this the picture we desire to see of genuine liberty, philanthropic, desirous of good to all, and overflowing with all generous emotions?
743	May I be allowed to tell it to my wife or my child?
743	May not lines which have reached to so amazing a length without meeting, be in reality parallel lines?
743	Must there not be in this subtle distribution much of what is arbitrary and sciolistic?
743	Of these hours how many belong to the province of intellect?
743	The experience we have had as to the truth of the smaller, does it authorise us to consider the larger as unquestionable?
743	The instant this question is proposed, I hear myself replied to from all quarters: What is there so well known as the brevity of human life?
743	The preceptor may occasionally perhaps prescribe to the pupil a severe task; and the young adventurer may say, Can I be expected to accomplish this?
743	Then what may I not have to fear?
743	Then what may be chance to say?
743	Then what would not omnipotence effect?
743	These new planets also we are told are fragments of a larger planet: how came this larger planet never to have been discovered?
743	This brings us back to the question:"Is there indeed nothing new under the sun?"
743	This certainly is a fearful judgment awarded upon our species: but is it true?
743	What can be expected from the buds of the most auspicious infancy, if encountered in their earliest stage with the rigorous blasts of a polar climate?
743	What can be more clear and sound in explanation, than the love of a parent to his child?
743	What can be more different than the gentry of the west end of this metropolis, and the money- making dwellers in the east?
743	What did this answer imply as to the political government of the country where it was given?
743	What has not man effected by the boldness of his conceptions and the adventurousness of his spirit?
743	What indeed is life, unless so far as it is enjoyed?
743	What is it, that presents to every eye the image of liberty, and compels every heart to confess, This is the temple where she resides?
743	What is the true explanation of these determinations of the human will?
743	What looks of reproach may he cast upon me?
743	What more unlike than a soldier and a sailor?
743	What solution so natural, as that they are produced by beings like myself, the duplicates, with certain variations, of what I feel within me?
743	What then were the obstacles, that should in any degree counteract my smooth and rapid progress in the studies suggested to me?
743	When all these demands have been supplied, how many hours will be left for intellectual occupation?
743	When the loose mountain trembles from on high, Shall gravitation cease, if you go by?
743	Where is the man who can say that no unconscious bias has influenced him in the progress of his investigation?
743	Which of us is happy?
743	Who can behold the human eye, suddenly suffused with moisture, or gushing with tears unbid, and the quivering lip, without unspeakable emotion?
743	Who is it that says,"There is no love but among equals?"
743	Who shall pronounce that, under very different circumstances, his conclusions would not have been essentially other than they are?
743	Who shall set bounds to the everlasting variety of nature, as she has recorded her creations in the heart of man?
743	Why did the liberal- minded man perform his first act of benevolence?
743	Why do these men take so different courses?
743	Why is it then that disbelief or doubt should still subsist in a question so fully decided?
743	Yet how many motives are there, constraining him to abide in an affirmative conclusion?
743	Yet may not the mean temperature of the Georgium Sidus be nearly the same as that of the earth?
743	Yet what is human speech for the most part but mere imitation?
743	and whence comes it?
743	every thing is very good?"
40257	And the second is: How has it been perpetuated?
40257	And what has made this difference?
40257	Are natural causes competent to play the part of selection in perpetuating varieties?
40257	Are these truths ultimate and irresolvable facts, or are their complexities and perplexities the mere expressions of a higher law?
40257	But I imagine I hear the question, how is all this to be tested?
40257	But can we go no further than that?
40257	But has this been done?
40257	But how does this classification differ from that of the scientific Zoologist?
40257	But how is this remarkable propulsive machine made to perform its functions?
40257	But in the next place comes a much more difficult inquiry:--Are the causes indicated competent to give rise to the phenomena of organic nature?
40257	But is it not possible to apply a test whereby a true species may be known from a mere variety?
40257	But is the like true of the physiological characteristics of animals?
40257	But is this really so?
40257	But suppose we prefer to admit our ignorance rather than adopt a hypothesis at variance with all the teachings of nature?
40257	But the question now is:--Does selection take place in nature?
40257	But to how much has man really access?
40257	But what does this attempt to construct a universal history of the globe imply?
40257	But what more have we to guide us in nine- tenths of the most important affairs of daily life than hypotheses, and often very ill- based ones?
40257	But what proportion is there between the structural alteration and the functional result?
40257	But where does the grass, or the oat, or any other plant, obtain this nourishing food- producing material?
40257	But whither does all this tend?
40257	But why does a muscle contract at one time and not at another?
40257	Can either be shown to fill up or diminish, to any appreciable extent, the structural interval which exists between Man and the man- like Apes?
40257	Can we find any approximation to this in the different races known to be produced by selective breeding from a common stock?
40257	Could not a sensible child confute, by obvious arguments, the shallow rhetoricians who would force this conclusion upon us?
40257	Did either of these original specimens, on which Von Wurmb''s descriptions are based, ever reach Europe?
40257	Do the physiological differences of varieties amount in degree to those observed between forms which naturalists call distinct species?
40257	Does Nature acknowledge in any deeper way this unity of plan we seem to trace?
40257	Has not his Paley told him that that seemingly useless organ, the spleen, is beautifully adjusted as so much packing between the other organs?
40257	How and when are we justified in making our next step-- a_ deduction_ from it?
40257	How could that operation of selection, which is his essential function, be carried out by mere natural agencies?
40257	How did Harvey determine the nature of the circulation, except by experiment?
40257	How did Sir Charles Bell determine the functions of the roots of the spinal nerves, save by experiment?
40257	How do we know the use of a nerve at all, except by experiment?
40257	How do you know that the laws of Nature are not suspended during the night?
40257	How do you know that the man who really made the marks took the spoons?
40257	How does the meaning of the scientific class- name of"Mammalia"differ from the unscientific of"Beasts"?
40257	How then has this notion of the inexactness of Biological science come about?
40257	How, then, is mud formed?
40257	If you find any record of changes taking place at_ b_, did they occur before any events which took place while_ a_ was being deposited?
40257	In the first place, do these supposed causes of the phenomena exist in nature?
40257	In the first place, what is a species?
40257	Is he something apart?
40257	Is it any more than a grandiloquent way of announcing the fact, that we really know nothing about the matter?
40257	Is it not probable that teachers, in pursuing such studies, will be led astray from the acquirement of more important but less attractive knowledge?
40257	Is it satisfactorily proved, in fact, that species may be originated by selection?
40257	Is it then the_ results_ of Biological science which are"inexact"?
40257	Is mother- love vile because a hen shows it, or fidelity base because dogs possess it?
40257	Is there among the plants the same primitive form of organization, and is that identical with that of the animal kingdom?
40257	Is there any test of a physiological species?
40257	Is there no criterion of species?
40257	Is this sound reasoning?
40257	It is the question why should training masters be encouraged to acquire a knowledge of this, or any other branch, of physical science?
40257	No doubt it is a pretty and ingenious way of looking at the structure of any animal, but is it anything more?
40257	Now, how many of those are absolutely extinct?
40257	Now, the next problem that lies before us-- and it is an extremely important one-- is this: Does this selective breeding occur in nature?
40257	Now, what is the effect of this oscillation?
40257	Now, what is the result of all this?
40257	Or does he differ less from them than they differ from one another, and hence must take his place in the same order with them?
40257	Or suppose for a moment we admit the explanation, and then seriously ask ourselves how much the wiser are we?
40257	Shall Biology alone remain out of harmony with her sister sciences?
40257	So what is the use of what you have done?"
40257	That is to say, how many of these orders of animals have lived at a former period of the world''s history, but have at present no representatives?
40257	The first is: How has organic or living matter commenced its existence?
40257	The first question of course is, Do they thus return to the primitive stock?
40257	The great new question would be"How does all this take place?"
40257	Was the oldest_ Homo sapiens_ pliocene or miocene, or yet more ancient?
40257	What are those inductions and deductions, and how have you got at this hypothesis?
40257	What books shall I read?
40257	What if the orbit of Darwinism should be a little too circular?
40257	What is Mr. Darwin''s hypothesis?
40257	What is he doing?
40257	What is it originates, directs and controls, the motive power?
40257	What is it that constitutes and makes man what he is?
40257	What is the cause of this wonderful difference between the dead particle and the living particle of matter appearing in other respects identical?
40257	What is the purpose of primary intellectual education?
40257	What is the use, it is said, of attempting to make physical science a branch of primary education?
40257	What is this very speech that we are talking about?
40257	What meaning has this fact upon any other hypothesis or supposition than one of successive modification?
40257	What will be the result, then?
40257	What will come of a variation when you breed from it, when Atavism comes, if I may say so, to intersect variation?
40257	What, then, takes place?
40257	When I examine it, what appears to be the most striking character it presents?
40257	Where in nature was the analogue of the breeder to be found?
40257	Where, then, must we look for primæval Man?
40257	Why does one whole group of muscles contract when the lobster wishes to extend his tail, and another group, when he desires to bend it?
40257	Why, there is not a function of a single organ in the body which has not been determined wholly and solely by experiment?
40257	Your friend says to you,"But how do you know that?"
40257	is there anything like the operation of man in exercising selective breeding, taking place in nature?
40257	or may I not rather ask is it possible for you to discharge your functions properly, without these aids?
40257	or what is really the state of the case?
40257	said his opponents,"but what do you know you may be doing when you heat the air over the water in this way?
40257	that difference to which we give the name of Life?
40257	that none of the phenomena exhibited by species are inconsistent with the origin of species in this way?
40257	that there is such a thing as natural selection?
40257	what does the explanation explain?
40257	what if species should offer residual phenomena here and there, not explicable by natural selection?
40257	what is the range and position of Physiological Science as a branch of knowledge, and what is its value as a means of mental discipline?

53261	A nightmare?
53261	A vision?
53261	And are decadents those who, if they had submitted to an artistic discipline of sincerity, would never have written at all?
53261	And are not the believers in the future, then, the creators of the future, and the true priests of progress?
53261	And has hurry now become finally triumphant so that our critics and even our artists and savants are nothing more than journalists?
53261	And himself, a Romantic?
53261	And his Redeemer would be, therefore-- whom?
53261	And his love of Love is then something pathetic, founded on"unselfishness"?
53261	And how can one who has not idealized be an artist?
53261	And how much Art, therefore, has lost?
53261	And how, then, is Man to be redeemed?
53261	And is"objectivity"the antidote?
53261	And morality was then the original sin?
53261	And not Original Sin, but Original Innocence is the true reading of the fable?

53261	And should we not, therefore, feel grateful to them?
53261	And so on eternally?

53261	And that misunderstanding is perhaps attributable to a lack of leisure?
53261	And that to modern hurry?

53261	And what, indeed, is the problem?
53261	And what, then, is equality but the infinitely consoling consciousness of tainted creatures that every one on this earth is tainted?
53261	And would not that defeat the purpose?
53261	And, after all, does Man desire Happiness?
53261	And, therefore, one should praise humility, and practise it?
53261	And, therefore, whether religion is subjective, or objective?
53261	Are modern artists as bourgeois as this?
53261	Are not all sincere ideals involuntary auguries?
53261	Are these the bad thoughts of God?
53261	Are you not simply superfluous-- and vilely smelling at that?
53261	As a sort of Epicureanism, for instance?

53261	But is there any other which grants modernity more than the status of an accident of time and fashion?
53261	But is this so?
53261	But the eternal question always returns again, Why does literature exist?
53261	But this state being created, the problem arose, How did Man fall from it?
53261	But what can one do?
53261	But what is Happiness?
53261	But, allowing for these, may there not be_ something_ due to the fact that people are no longer interested, as they used to be, in the future?
53261	But, as well, is not pride at times laughable and absurd?
53261	But, without the bait of the strange and the new to lure it on, must not humanity halt on its way?
53261	By a standard outside of literature, by their consonance with that which is the_ raison d''être_ of literature?

53261	From whence do they come?
53261	H. G. Wells_ How much has Mr. Wells''s scientific training had to do with his conception of Love?
53261	Had he lived in that pre- Christian world, would he have believed in the God in whom he now believes?
53261	Has he also possessed this truth?
53261	Has he in despair grown"artistic"simply because he is not an artist?
53261	Has literature decayed as hurry has intensified?
53261	Have standards of balance, repose and leisured grace gradually shrunk since, say, the Industrial Revolution?
53261	Have we here got to the foundation, or shall we find that underlying the Will to Power there is something more fundamental still?
53261	He himself lacks Love:--Can it be that he praises it for the same reason for which the Christian praises what he is not but would fain be?
53261	His heart then exults within him; but, why?
53261	How did Christianity find relief from this fundamental pessimism?

53261	If you would create an ideal Art, must you not, then, learn to love?
53261	In a society which has not surpassed the phase of slavery does every addition to man''s power over nature simply intensify the slavery?

53261	In them a far greater problem than any literary problem faces us, the problem, Why does literature exist?
53261	In what consists the passion of the moral fanatic?
53261	Into what hells?"
53261	Is Decadence the most subtle disguise of impotence?
53261	Is Happiness, then, the end of morality?
53261	Is Man, then, the mediocre animal par excellence?
53261	Is Original Sin, then, a theological dogma or a political device?
53261	Is decadence nothing more than the symptom of a self- conscious age?
53261	Is it an ideal of Life, or a thing impossible, self- contradictory, static, an eternal stick with which to chastise existence?
53261	Is it because Love is indifferent to Happiness that Happiness flutters around it, and caresses it with its wings?
53261	Is it because he is incapable of becoming anything else?
53261	Is it because the lovers have by a divine chance found their true path, have become a pulse in the very heart of Life?
53261	Is it because there is within the exceptional man greater compass, and, therefore, greater danger?
53261	Is it in order that people might still converse wittily, and the epigram might not die?
53261	Is it not Man that forever interprets and interprets?
53261	Is it not the future rather than the prophecy which"comes true"?
53261	Is it possible to know Life?
53261	Is it that the sentiment of the eternal was already beginning to weaken in Goethe and Ibsen?
53261	Is it, indeed, power that they desire in their striving, power for the sake of power?
53261	Is not its interpretation a part of it?
53261	Is not soothsaying implicit in every deliberate act?
53261	Is not this, indeed, its chief_ utility,_ that it saves men from the dangers which accompany pride?
53261	Is salvation, like sin, common to all men?
53261	Is the Will to suffering incarnate in it, or the will to alleviate suffering?
53261	Is the problem a moral one, and shall we say that a conquest of nature which is not preceded by a conquest of human nature is bound to be bad?
53261	Is there a"modern spirit"not dependent upon time and place, and in all ages modern?
53261	Is this simply the last paradox of a master of paradox?
53261	Is this what happened at the Renaissance?
53261	It is not sufficient that movements should be new-- if they are ever new; the question is, To what end are they?
53261	Its_ raison d''être_ is the Garden of Eden, not the Fall?
53261	Love, indeed, is known to him in all but its illusions; but who knows Love that knows not Love''s illusions?
53261	Must not things be_ foreseen_ before they can be accomplished?
53261	Neither of them copies existence in its external details: wherein do they differ?
53261	Or an effect of Love?
53261	Or does their strength not go just so far?
53261	Or from love of freedom?
53261	Or is he tired because he is going downhill?
53261	Or is it humility to boast of one''s high ancestry, and if the ancestry does not exist, to invent it?
53261	Or is it still, as it has always been, a crime to substitute one metaphor for another?
53261	Or is the problem intellectual?
53261	Or is your soul afraid to go as far as your will?
53261	Or not praise it and practise it?
53261	Or praise it and not practise it?
53261	Or to take another guess, granted we read Original Sin in the Fall, must we not read there, also, the way to get rid of it?
53261	Or will they look back upon Christianity as a creed too indulgent and not noble enough?
53261	Progress conceived as a discovery of the unknown instead of as a pursuit of Perfection-- might not that take us a long way?
53261	Shall it yet be found that the mainspring of the Renaissance was a newly discovered love of Life and, therefore, of Man?
53261	Should we then oppose the addition of one more divine power to the imprisoned?
53261	Should we who nurse a mission deplore the spirit in which these disinterested observers enter into their task?
53261	The Greeks would have demanded of realism, Why do you exist?
53261	The Superman is a goal, but what is the Superman''s goal?
53261	The history of humanity, that is, as distinct from the history of communities?
53261	The maddest of dreams?
53261	The morality might be judged by the criterion, Does it aid us in our quest?
53261	The profoundest of intuitions?
53261	The"bull"raised to a form of literary art?
53261	This notion may appear to us absurd, or merely ingenious, but will it appear so to future generations?
53261	This was the task of Nietzsche: in how far he succeeded how can we yet say?
53261	Through what perils?
53261	To live sparely and conserve strength?
53261	To make Life beautiful, then, would be to make it tragic?
53261	To make discipline more rigid?
53261	To observe vigilantly the signs of today-- and not only of today?
53261	To preserve and fortify the tradition of culture?
53261	To render more accessible the sources from which creative literature draws its life, so that the_ next_ generation may be better placed?
53261	To what cause is it to be traced?
53261	To what is due the decay of the art of soothsaying?
53261	To what is due this conspicuous absence of nobility in modern writers?
53261	To what was the change of attitude due?
53261	True, this hatred may not be of individuals but of things; but does that make it any more harmless?
53261	WHAT IS MODERN?
53261	Was it Love, who wished to shape a weapon for itself, the better to fashion things?
53261	Was it not fitting that he should aim his main indictment of Life against it, seeing that it is the trick whereby the blunder of Life is perpetuated?
53261	Was it not necessarily so?
53261	Was not this the necessary corollary of his æsthetic evaluation of Life?
53261	Was that pride the necessary condition of that productiveness?
53261	Was the Fall of Man the fall from Love?
53261	Was this the explanation of Nietzsche''s downfall?
53261	We ask, rather, Is our Love creative or barren?
53261	Well, are we to assent, then, to the old philosophic prejudice against style and refuse to believe any philosopher who does not write badly?
53261	Well, does not the moral become clearer and clearer?
53261	Well, how is it possible, if it_ is_ possible, to regain"the good conscience"?
53261	Well, in which of these forms, Tragedy or Comedy, may our hopes and visions of the Future best be expressed?
53261	Well, what does that prove, except that comedy as well as tragedy has been occasioned by it?
53261	Well, what is the remedy for this?
53261	Well, why not?
53261	Were they overburdened by their own age?
53261	What are we to think, then?
53261	What can be his reason for doing so?
53261	What course is left?
53261	What has been the history of humanity during the last two thousand years?
53261	What if the conflict between spirit and"life"is and must forever be an implacable and destructive one?
53261	What if, like the vampire, it_ can_ live only by drinking blood?
53261	What is it that makes the average man more sane and happy than the modern man?
53261	What is its meaning?
53261	What is the meaning of literature?
53261	What noble end is served by the reproduction of ordinary existence?
53261	What quality or combination of qualities is it which makes a writer a stylist?
53261	What satisfaction does it bring to those, by no means few in number, its"followers"?
53261	What was its meaning to the rulers of Israel?
53261	What, then, are the tasks of a writer in an unproductive age?
53261	What, then, does modern sensualism mean?
53261	When it has been written, and the new discipline has been hailed and submitted to by the artists, who can say if greatness may not again be possible?
53261	Where may not this resolution lead you?
53261	Where would philosophical opponents of Bolshevism be without Nietzsche?
53261	Whether God is within us, or outside us?
53261	Whither do they go?
53261	Who created it?
53261	Who would devise arguments for them, eloquence for them, phrases for them?
53261	Who, then, but them should extol him?
53261	Why should he wish Life to persist if he does not love Life?
53261	Will timidity, conformity, mediocrity, judicious blindness, unwillingness to offend, be synonymous, to them also, with morality?
53261	Would he, perchance, have said that to John the Baptist, the great modern of his time?
53261	Would the poets, the thinkers and the discoverers have attempted what they did attempt, had they been humble men?
53261	Would you deprive us of all the charming, serious, whimsical, and divinely frivolous works which are human- all- too- human?
53261	Would you erase from the book of literature all that is not idealization and myth, you neo- moderns?
53261	Yet what could harm it?
53261	Yet, for our better amusement, will not some one write his one and only novel, giving the true history of the novelist?
53261	Yet, in doing so, did they not rob æstheticism of its seductiveness?
53261	Yet, what ground had he to conclude that because the sensual intoxicates Man, therefore Man is more sensual than spiritual?
53261	You have been unsuccessful in trivial things?
53261	_ Can_ man act at all without believing in the future in some fashion?
53261	_ Why_ do all living things strive for power?
53261	are propaganda, reform, and even revolution, perchance, with many of them simply their escape from their problem?
53261	has Mr. Chesterton, then, postponed the solution of the problem?
53261	is Nietzsche, then, the great moralist, and are the Christians the great immoralists?
5173	Do the inanimate preach the Doctrine?
5173	How art thou going to encounter it?
5173	How can you turn Self into the phenomenal universe?
5173	How do you display your supernatural powers?
5173	How do you, sir,questioned the monk,"teach about that?"
5173	I have been reciting the sacred Canon, why do you not see? 5173 Is there not anything good in the worshipping of the Buddha?"
5173	Let go of that, I say,the Muni commanded again; but the Brahmin, having nothing to let go of, asked:"What shall I let go of, Reverend Sir?
5173	Obak said:''How dares this lunatic come into my presence and play with a tiger''s whiskers?'' 5173 Then who is that confronts us?"
5173	What doctrine do the masters of the South teach?
5173	What has brought you here?
5173	What have I to do when death takes the place of life?
5173	What is the best way of living for us monks?
5173	What is the spiritual body of Buddha who is immortal and divine?
5173	What is, reverend sir,asked a man of Chao Cheu( Jo- shu),"the holy temple( of Buddha)?"
5173	What is, sir,asked a monk to Yen Kwan( Yen- kan),"the original body of Buddha Vairocana?
5173	Who are you,demanded the Fifth Patriarch,"and whence have you come?"
5173	Who can hear them?
5173	Who is the master of the temple?
5173	Why, then, do I not hear them?
5173	[ FN#262] Who could cheer him up who abandons himself to self- created misery? 5173 [ FN#37]"I know, your reverence,"said the man,"that you belong to Samgha; but what are Buddha and Dharma?"
5173	''Are these sages alive?''
5173	''How should you, a wheelwright, have anything to say about the book which I am reading?
5173	''O monk,''demanded the man, as Boku- den was clad like a Zen monk,''what school of swordsmanship do you belong to?''
5173	''There are nettles everywhere, but are not smooth, green grasses more common still?''
5173	''What is life and death?''
5173	''What is the real nature of mind?''
5173	''What is the spirit of Bodhidharma?''
5173	''Where is my visitor, where my dear monk?''
5173	''Why not,''he might have thought within himself,''why all this is futile?
5173	''Why, you might go to the master and ask him what is the essence of Buddhism?''
5173	''Why,''said the teacher,''art thou so late?''
5173	A man asked Chang Sha( Cho- sha):"How can you turn the phenomenal universe into Self?"
5173	A man asked Poh Chang( Hyaku- jo):"How shall I learn the Law?"
5173	A monk, Hwui Chao( E- cha) by name, asked Pao Yen( Ho- gen):"What is Buddha?"
5173	Again, if there be nothing real in the universe, what is it that causes unreal objects to appear?
5173	Again, if there be nothing real in the universe, what is it that causes unreal objects to appear?
5173	Are the stars too distant?
5173	Are there not holy men, Holy Truths, Holy Paths stated in the scriptures?
5173	Are there not many who are rich without any virtues, while some are poor in spite of their virtues?
5173	Are there not the humane, who die young, while the inhuman enjoy long lives?
5173	Are there not the unjust who are fortunate, while the just are unfortunate?
5173	Are we doomed to be victims for the jaws of the environment?
5173	Are we not endowed with inner force to fight successfully against obstacles and difficulties, and to wrest trophies of glory from hardships?
5173	Are we to be slaves to the vicissitudes of fortune?
5173	But are your beliefs, we should ask, based on historical fact?
5173	But as soon as they withdraw into themselves and ask themselves,''Am I now happy?''
5173	But is there inner life expressed, or possible to be expressed, in any other form save physical organism?
5173	By what authority does he declare all this meritless?
5173	Can a superior man be without the feeling of shame to such an extent as this?''
5173	Can you assert that those traditions which deify Mohammed and Shakya are the statements of bare facts?
5173	Can you cause things to fall off the earth against the law of gravitation?
5173	Can you not recognize something undisturbed and peaceful among disturbance and trouble?
5173	Can you realize that death, which you have yet no immediate experience of, is the greatest of evil?
5173	Can you recognize something awe- inspiring in the rise and fall of nations?
5173	Can you say that such traditional and self- contradictory records as the four gospels are history in the strict sense of the term?
5173	Can you thus prove that you- in- yourself exist beyond or behind you?
5173	Confucius replied:''What words are these?
5173	Could there be any meat that is not fresh in my shop?''
5173	Do n''t you see?"
5173	Do they denote or connote anything?
5173	Do you bear the trumpet call?
5173	Do you feel the earth tremble?
5173	Do you not need to mitigate the struggle for existence more sanguine than the war of weapons?
5173	Do you not shed tears over those hunger- bitten children who cower in the dark lanes of a great city?
5173	Do you not sympathize with poverty- stricken millions living side by side with millionaires saturated with wealth?
5173	Do you not want to do away with the so- called armoured peace among nations?
5173	Do you not wish to put down the stupendous oppressor-- Might- is- right?
5173	Does He not give new forms to His design?
5173	Does He not show us new materials for His building?
5173	Does He not surprise us with novelties, extraordinaries, and mysteries?
5173	Does not even a stone tell the mystery of Life?
5173	Does this not amount to your stealing the annual salary from your lord?"
5173	Does, then, Zen use no scripture?
5173	For what purpose is your question?
5173	For whose sake should he take life,[FN#350] or commit theft, or give alms, or keep precepts?
5173	For whose sake, then, should he be lustful or angry?
5173	Has it a form?
5173	Has not art found that she is beautiful?
5173	Has not each of us a light within him, whatever degrees of lustre there may be?
5173	Has not even grass some meaning?
5173	Has not philosophy announced that she is spiritual?
5173	Has not religion proclaimed that she is good?
5173	Has not science proved that she is truthful?
5173	Has there been any paramour who disgraced himself that lie might help his neighbours?
5173	Has there been any traitor who performed the ignoble conduct to promote the welfare of his own country or society at large?
5173	Has there been anyone who committed theft that he might further the interests of his villagers?
5173	Has, then, the divine nature of Universal Spirit been completely and exhaustively revealed in our Enlightened Consciousness?
5173	Have we not hundreds of thousands of life- long slaves to gold among us?
5173	Have we not myriads of lifelong slaves to vanity among us?
5173	Have we not thousands of life- long slaves to spirits among us?
5173	Have we not, nevertheless, hundreds of life- long slaves to cigars among us?
5173	He replied:''What profession is there which has not its principles?
5173	How can he be so?
5173	How can it, by coming quickly into the eyes and ears, distinguish the pleasing from the disgusting in external objects?
5173	How can such a person be the master of things?
5173	How can the divine law of causality be so unreasonable?
5173	How can the spirits of the past always live in a crowd?
5173	How can there be reward for the good( as it is taught in your sacred books),[FN#315] that Heaven blesses the good and shows grace to the humble?
5173	How can this one put the others in motion, or communicate with them, in order to co- operate in producing Karma?
5173	How can we suppose that we, the children of Buddha, are put at the mercy of petty troubles, or intended to be crushed by obstacles?
5173	How can you be saved when you are at the verge of death?
5173	How can you single out angels from among devils?
5173	How could I understand all human affairs, ancient and modern, in the world?
5173	How could he be reluctant to give his halo?"
5173	How could he, however, succeed in his task unless he has two or three lives, as some animals are believed to have?
5173	How could it be called a noble( path)?
5173	How could it be possible to make the unmoral being moral or immoral?
5173	How could man, the most spiritual of the Three Powers[FN#284] exist without an origin?
5173	How could one extirpate man''s bad nature implanted within him at his origin?
5173	How could such a dull fellow as I grasp its spirit?"
5173	How could we save the dying by persuading them that death is a bare privation of life?
5173	How could you establish the authority of morality?
5173	How could you know Him to be a Divine man different from other criminals who were crucified with Him?
5173	How could you say that its relation to a knower is the only and fundamental relation for the existence of the tree?
5173	How could you think anything purely spiritual and formless existing without blending together with other things?
5173	How did he come to consider that he ought to be good and ought not to be bad?
5173	How do kings differ from beggars in the eye of Transience?
5173	How do you know the causes of one are more numerous than the causes of the other?
5173	How does it differ from soul?
5173	How was it possible for man to do good before these sages''appearance on earth?
5173	How, then, can the heart within freely pass to the organs of sense without?
5173	How, then, did philosophers come to consider reality to be unknowable and hidden behind or beyond appearances?
5173	How, then, do you distinguish the real cause of pain from that of pleasure?
5173	How, then, does Alaya give rise to them through transformation?
5173	How, then, is life sustained there and kept up in continuous birth after birth?
5173	Hwui Chung( Ye- chu), a famous disciple of the Sixth Patriarch in China, to quote an example, one day asked a monk:"Where did you come from?"
5173	If it be said that it is the mind that produces Karma( I ask), what is the mind?
5173	If it be the will of Heaven to bless so limited a number of persons at all, and to curse so many, why is Heaven so partial?
5173	If man be double- natured, how did he come to set good over evil?
5173	If mind as well as external objects be unreal, who is it that knows they are so?
5173	If morality be merely subjective, and there be no objective standard, how can you distinguish evil from good?
5173	If the dream is not the same as the things dreamed, in what other form does it appear to you?
5173	If the external objects which are transformed are unreal, how can the Vijnyana, the transformer, be real?
5173	If there be no distinction between the pleasing and the disgusting, why does it accept the one or reject the other?
5173	If there be no individual soul either in mind or body, where does personality lie?
5173	If there be no life in earth, how could life come out of it?
5173	If there be no life similar to ours in animals, how could we sustain our life by subsisting on them?
5173	If there be no life, the same as the animal''s life in the vegetables, how could animals sustain their lives feeding on vegetables?
5173	If there be no unchanging mirror, bright and clean, bow can there be the various images, unreal and temporary, reflected in it?
5173	If there be no unchanging mirror, bright and clean, how can there be various images, unreal and temporary, reflected in it?
5173	If there be no water of unchanging fluidity, how can there be the unreal and temporary forms of waves?
5173	If there be no water of unchanging fluidity,[FN#373] how can there be the unreal and temporary forms of waves?
5173	If there be no way of escape, why do you trouble yourself about it?
5173	If this assertion be true, is it not a useless task to educate man with the purpose of making him better and nobler?
5173	If vices be congenial and true to man''s nature, but virtues be alien and untrue to him, why are virtues honoured by him?
5173	If vices be genuine and virtue a deception, as you think, why do you call the inventors of that deceiving art sages?
5173	If you contend that good is man''s primary nature and evil the secondary one, why is be so often overpowered by the secondary nature?
5173	If you could conquer the enemy without fighting, what then is your sword for?''
5173	If, again, man''s nature is essentially bad, as Siun Tsz holds, how can he cultivate virtue?
5173	In short, why are so many destined to be unlucky and so few to be lucky?
5173	In such a world as this, what is the use of the enjoyment of pleasures, if he who has fed on them is to return to this world again and again?
5173	Is he himself not one of the holy men?''
5173	Is it bright?
5173	Is it conscious?
5173	Is it empty?
5173	Is it intelligent?
5173	Is it non- intelligent?
5173	Is it not a fact that the more virtuous one grows the more sinful he feels himself?
5173	Is it not best for it to do so?
5173	Is it not just one moment from the nuptial song to the funeral- dirge?
5173	Is it not just one step from rosy childhood to snowy age?
5173	Is it not mere tautology?
5173	Is the doomsday coming instead?
5173	Is there any example of an individual object that escaped the government of that law in the whole history of the world?
5173	Is there any instance of an individual who escaped it in the whole history of mankind?
5173	Is there any merit, Reverend Sir, in our conduct?"
5173	Is this not contrary to fact?
5173	Laying aside his hammer and chisel, Phien went up the steps and said:''I venture to ask your Grace what words you are reading?''
5173	Let us ask you: Are you satisfied with the present state of things?
5173	Li Ngao( Ri- ko) one day asked Yoh Shan( Yaku- san):"What is the way to truth?"
5173	Might I ask you, sir, to pacify my mind?"
5173	Nothing exists from the first What can be dimmed by dust and dirt?"
5173	Now ask yourself what is you- in- yourself?
5173	Now if I, being born among men, know not whence I came( into this life), how could I know whither I am going in the after- life?
5173	Now the question arises, If all human beings are endowed with Buddha- nature, why have they not come naturally to be Enlightened?
5173	Now, then, what is the use of our life, if it stand still?
5173	Now, then, who can point out any sinless person in the present world?
5173	Of what use( then) are the teachings of Lao Tsz and Chwang Tsz?
5173	One day she instructed a young girl to embrace and ask him:"How do you feel now?"
5173	Or did you do so, in the service of a perishing state, by the punishment of an axe?
5173	Or was it that you had completed your term of life?''
5173	Or was it through your evil conduct, reflecting disgrace on your parents and on your wife and children?
5173	Or was it through your hard endurances of cold and hunger?
5173	Ordinary people know not even the phenomena actually occurring before them; how could they understand the unseen?
5173	Pao Chi( Ho- shi), a Buddhist tutor to the Emperor, asked the perplexed monarch:"Does your Lordship understand him?"
5173	Perhaps he might have thought:''Why is nothing holy?
5173	Providence, salvation, and divine grace-- what are they?
5173	Say, one and all, how do you understand the Law?"
5173	Shall we perish in the darkness of scepticism, shutting our eyes to the light of Tathagata?
5173	Shall we say, then, that the shape of the nail gave the shape of the coat, or in any way corresponds to it?
5173	Shall we starve ourselves refusing to accept the rich bounty which the Blessed Life offers to us?
5173	Shall we suffer from innumerable pains in the self- created hell where remorse, jealousy, and hatred feed the fire of anger?
5173	So why do they not see and hear and thus produce Karma?
5173	Such is the clearness of still water, and how much greater is that of the human spirit?
5173	Tapping it with his horse- switch, he asked it saying:''Did you, sir, in your greed of life, fail in the lessons of reason and come to this?
5173	The elder said:''Have you ever approached the master and asked his instruction in Buddhism?''
5173	Then Tung Shan went round the chair, taking the officer with him, and making a bow again to the officer, asked:"Do you see what I mean?"
5173	Then an attendant of his asked"What is the matter?"
5173	Then the monk bowed politely to the teacher, who questioned:"How did you understand me?"
5173	Then, turning to another monk, inquired:"How did you understand me?"
5173	Thus thinking, he inquired:"What is the holy truth, or the first principle?"
5173	To the question,"What and who is Buddha?"
5173	Tung Shan( To- Zan) was on one occasion attending on his teacher Yun Yen( Un- gan), who asked:"What are your supernatural powers?"
5173	Was it not typical of a so- called great man of the world?
5173	Was not Jesus also a criminal?
5173	Was not Socrates a criminal?
