Eric Gill цитаты

Эрик Гилл — прославленный английский скульптор, гравер и автор. Через много лет после смерти получил дополнительную скандальную известность в связи со ставшими достоянием публики текстами дневников, где описываются акты супружеской неверности, зоофилии и инцеста. Созданные Гиллом предметы эротического искусства вероятно были вдохновлены его дочерьми. В связи с этим биографическим открытием наследие Гилла и отношение к нему подверглись пересмотру. Wikipedia

Eric Gill: Цитаты на английском языке

“That state is a state of Slavery in which a man does what he likes to do in his spare time and in his working time that which is required of him. This state can only exist when what a man likes to do is to please himself. ¶ That state is a state of Freedom in which a man does what he likes to do in his working time and in his spare time that which is required of him. This state can only exist when what a man likes to do is to please God.”

Art Nonsense and Other Essays (1929), published by Cassell; quoted in Eric Gill: Man of Flesh and Spirit by Malcolm Yorke, published by Tauris Parke ISBN 1-86064-584-4, p. 49

“Of patience there is this to be said. To be patient is to suffer. By their fruits men know one another, but by their sufferings they are what they are. And suffering is not merely the endurance of physical or mental anguish, but of joy also. A rabbit caught in a trap may be supposed to suffer physical anguish : but it suffers nothing else. The man crucified may be supposed to suffer physical & mental anguish, but he suffers also intense happiness and joy. The industrialist workman is often simply as a rabbit in a trap; the artist is often as a man nailed to a cross. In patience souls are possessed. No lower view of the matter will suffice.”
